I enjoyed my stay. My room was clean, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed the soft bed but that is my preference. The air conditioning was supurb. Splash is so much fun. I didnt make it upstairs to the niteclub, maybe next time. The location is the best, literally in the middle of everything! I will stay here again.

I've stayed at other nearby hotels and this was a pleasant change. Quieter hallways, convenient location, easy parking for guests only. Rooms do not have microwaves or fridges though. Would definitely stay here again.

Really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable beds and a clean room. I just really wish our room would have had a mini fridge, it would have made our stay much more enjoyable.
