Room was clean and well stocked. Offering a room with 3 queen beds is a wonderful set up and worked perfectly for our family. Staff was friendly and helpful and location is fabulous. I only wish there was no smoking at all on the property. I had a one year old with me and I didnt want her inhaling the smoke. I was unable to enjoy my balcony as people were smoking near the pool and parking lot.

Recent refurbished room. Comfortable bed, nice shower. Internet access spotty, but 5g signal fine. The value of this hotel experience exceeds expectations. Besides the cool looking cozy furnishings, the staff is there to answer questions with a smile, glad to help. An innovative breakfast is included with waffles, yogurt, fresh fruits & pastries. We will be back.
