"Staying at this location was so amazing. The room itself was so clean and fresh. The breakfast was amazing and made to order. We had an amazing stay and a great time all around. 100% would recommend. Will definitely try to be back!"
"Rooms were spacious and clean. Pool stays open late until 10PM, so that was great! Town and non property restaurants are 10-15 minutes from the hotel.
