clean nice room. Excellent pool. We liked the car port ... other than the surface was sandy. Easy to walk to a couple of dinner options ... but don't wait too late as things close early.

BETTER than expected

Beds were clean and comfy but kinda short. Great water pressure. Awesome pool, deeper than I expected. Only downside was AC only in one room. Connected room had fan. With door open it was fine, but not if you wanted privacy and cool temperature
