8.8/10 Excellent! (1,213 reviews)

We have been coming to this property since 3/2020. We feel this property is great and have enjoyed every stay. The rooms are clean. The staff is always helpful and friendly. My only complaint is that the complimentary breakfast has gotten less each year. It is disappointing. It would be nice if you offered something more and not a list of items we can buy.
