This place is cleaner and nicer than some of the five-star hotels. Plenty of parking, quiet, and cozy. The staff are very kind and helpful, and the property is very well maintained. The nearest attraction is Gaylord Pacific Resort, which is only a mile away. I highly recommend this place to all travelers.
