Clean, friendly, and attentive staff. However, someone opened my door in the middle of the night while I was sleeping and woke me up. I yelled at them and they left quickly. The front desk helped me quickly. They did offer to move me, but it was the middle of the night. Needless to say, I didn’t sleep well. The showers are odd, there is no door, only a piece of glass on one side. Water went everywhere on the bathroom floor. There is no place to put your shower stuff either.

We stayed in one of the family suites with the double bunk beds! We loved it for our family... everyone had their own full sized bed. And the kids loved the pool. Also, it was a short walk to Old Town.

Love Miss Olivia and the rest of the staff. The little bar lobby area is really cute. Everything was very clean and nice but our TV was very very dark. We couldn't watch it. Other than that it was awesome. Right around the corner from Old Town walkable cute neighborhood, shopping, restaurants & festivities.

We stayed here two different nights during our recent vacation. Our first room was absolutely great. On our second stay we had a different room and had more issues with the cleanliness of the room, disrepair of the shower, curtains were not clean, walls had many smudges and a foul order from the sink. We will stay again because the first night was great. They have a small lounge with live music and a bar which we really really enjoyed.
