The furnished patio is not private! You share it with every single room on the 2nd floor. it is not stated in description. Our neighbors took over everything and then decided to sit right outside our door at 715am talking loudly. The hotel itself is good but no privacy was had!!

A fun getaway! Not very quiet so if that’s a priority then pick a different place to stay. Staff was great and grounds were well kept and clean. Wonderful music outside on the patio, definitely would stay again.
