Fun Stay With Great Vibes

The front desk was so friendly and super helpful. We selected a small economy room so it was perfect for us (no extra room besides the necessary things) but if I had kids, I would want a bigger room because it would have been very cramped. There are so many fun little activities to do on property and it’s all gated in so we felt very safe. We were first worried about the safety of the neighborhood but when we went down the street and sat outside at the pizzeria it was a great vibe and felt safe! We would for sure stay here again.
