This place is absolutely amazing! When I looked out my window in my room, I could see the swimming pool. It gives off this resort vibe. My only complaint is that the bed was a little too firm for my liking.

Customer service not great with the manager on duty. This was a first as I frequent a lot. First time charged for parking and the fee takes away from the price. Not a good deal. Did not feel valued and a lot of amenities were missing.
