The staff was super nice and we loved getting the texts checking to see if we were enjoying our stay. Rooms we so nice and clean. The only complaint we had was that the tiki bar was open to the public so there was a lot of people that weren’t staying at the hotel there during the days and night. We were there for a lacrosse tournament and we had lots of young girls that had to walk past the bar to go into the pool area. Also the location was right next to a gas station too so it could feel a bit unsafe.

Comfortable and clean rooms
Room was extremely clean, smelled nice and was comfortable. Maid service was very good. We were on the second floor and heard noise on the third floor and out in the parking lot, but that couldn't be helped. It would have been nice to have a Continental Breakfast offered. Overall, we were pleasantly satisfied with our room.
