Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The location is a little out of the way. We did not try the bar or food onsite but heard it was very good. The facility is dated and in need of a big facelift. Staff was great but we did have housekeeping walk in the room at 8:30 without knocking. Front desk staff were awesome.
Stay was ok. Website indicated restaurant on site but falled to note opening hours (8am on Sunday, 11 am Monday - did not check other days). My mistake for not making sure room had microwave. Room was quiet, bed was comfortable. FYI no usb charging available.
The staff was great! Food was good too. Beautiful outside patio area.

Disliked: Amenities
The place is quite dated. No lobby with coffee. Not a good value for just a room to stay in. It’s great if you’re attending an event there and you’re drinking and shouldn’t drive.
It is quiet, safe, and secluded.

The front desk employee made check-in easy. On entering the property there are no clear signs directing you where to check in. The room was clean and comfortable.

I wasn't looking for anything fancy; safety is my primary concern with hotels and i felt safe here. the property is tucked away in a residential neighborhood and it partly surrounded by a gold course.
the room was a bit dated, with wear and tear showing on the carpet and walls as well as exterior. but it was clean and there was plenty of free parking. its a bit funny that you're charged an $11 "resort" fee per night here considering that's meant to cover your cable tv access and wifi...which are simply standard amenities rather than "resort" style amenities. But whatever. Overall I would rate my experience as throughly "fine"; no major issues but it certainly didn't wow me.
It was amazing. Behind the gates and I never wanted to leave. The golf course was phenomenal and the resort was just as fantastic. Already booked my wife's birthday trip for next year here!
