"We were expecting the room to be nice but a little understated as it is a budget room, but we’re extremely pleasantly surprised. Our room was beautiful and enormous with all the humanities and a large porch area. We were so extremely happy with this room and the pool and the spa are amazing! The hotel definitely made this leg of the trip extra special."
"Excellent staff, great rooms and wonderful location. Only thing that would make it better if there had been a fan in room otherwise would highly recommend it. We loved it!"
