We stayed for two nights with a Groupon. I didn't really know what to expect, but we had a wonderful time. We have a family of six with kids ranging from two to nine years old. At first we were a bit worried thinking it was just a romantic stay hotel when we noticed all the couples. Then we started seeing more families with young kids. This hotel is accommodating for all.

The outdoor pool and hot tub were fantastic. It was a really neat atmosphere with music and lights when it gets dark. The lap pool in the basement was unlike anything I have ever seen. Our kids loved this area. It was often just our family using it which was crazy to us as it is so neat. Think of a big lazy river with neat stone in the middle.

The Groupon came with $40 of dining credit for each night. We had $80 to use. We used a little at the Cafe on cinnamon rolls and then saved the rest for breakfast at the 88. The food was about as good as I have had for breakfast. The price was fair as well. My omelette, fried potatoes, and toast were all great for $12. The kids had pancakes that were enormous. I would highly recommend eating here.

Our final takeaway was with how nice the staff was at the Elms. They seemed like they all really cared about the place and the customers. We felt right at home with the friendliness of the staff and with the people we talked to staying at the hotel.

One complaint I have seen on other reviews is with the carpet in the rooms. Our carpet was very rough looking with stains all over, but we weren't too bothered by this. If a renovation is in store for the carpet in this hotel, then I wouldn't be able to find much wrong with it.
