"Great location and nice place to relax and unwind. Room and place was clean and well kept. Pool was nice but could use some TLC. Also we did not receive our free bottle of wine as advertised when reserved but not a deal breaker. Will stay again and recommend it. Just work a little better on pool maintenance."
