We had a great experience. The theme was interesting and the pool was a great place to relax and for the kids play. While it was a little noisy due to road noise it was easily ignored. We will definitely go back.

The site looked nice, there rooms were nice, the staff was very friendly. You can walk to the strip which takes about 20 min. Easy walk, did it several times a day. There is also a free shuttle run by the city that runs a loop and stops at the Appy. So very easy if you don't want to walk. The fire pits are charming and a nice place to hang out in the evenings. I would definately stay here again
