The property was nice close to everything. Lost of restaurants around. The bar was nice. I didn’t like the room. It had a mildew smell to it. And the bathroom was not that nice
Enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Plenty of parking, beautiful pool space, and the Starbucks was the icing on the cake! I would stay again! The bartender made a great margarita!
This was my second time staying here and once again, it was an amazing experience. When we arrived, the hotel, staff was amazing got checked in very quickly. Our room was clean and extremely comfortable. We will definitely be back again.
