Cartier Place Suite Hotel
The property was clean and affordable. The pool and hot tub were excellent. The hotel restaurant had a happy hour from 3-6 and we took advantage of that perk. We weren't expecting a kitchen and separate bedroom in the room so that was a very pleasant surprise. We will be back!!
