Everything was new, clean and beautiful. We had access to a fully functional kitchen with everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable, the bathrooms were new and clean, and Victoria at the front desk was incredibly lovely and helpful. The view was stunning and proximity to all the amenities, but far away enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. Loved every minute of our stay.
