Great place will definitely book again.

Staff made accommodations from two queens to a king size. Room was clean. Staff was nice gave us extra towels, and we needed them.We did not want to be bugged by room service.So they didn't come to clean the room.While we were there hibernating and enjoying the hotel room. The only thing was the room was hot for me.First got in there, took about an hour in twenty minutes to cool down the entire room
