"It was such a great and beautiful hotel. The breakfast was hot and good selection. The hotel was very accommodating. Had good coffee creamer. Shower was amazing and good complimentary shampoo and conditioner. I loved my stay!!!!! "
"Loved the adult only hours for the pool area, breakfast was pretty good with a decent variety. Bed was comfortable and our room was spacious, clean and no major issues. Only thing I have to suggest is a bell/pager for the front desk!

"The villa we stayed in was lovely and had the right amount of dishes and furniture. The villa could use a number on the door or garage to make it easier to find and get into. "

"Staff were all friendly, the waterpark was awesome and clean, i love that they have an arcade and plenty of breakfast options. The room was clean and cozy and well stocked. The only complaint I have is the long lines for the 1 small elevator in the lobby. I had a stroller so i couldnt just squeeze in with other. All of the other guests i met were also very kind. "
"Close to basketball tournament. There were people in the hallways drunk in the middle of the night but nothing was done about it. It disturbed our families sleeping "
"The pool and hotub were great, open until midnight for adults., kids 10pm. Hotel was not crowded, staff was kind and friendly. Breakfast had all we needed and hot food was fresh and hot. Lobby has a great area to gather and sit in for visiting. Hotel is older, but they keep it clean. Easy on and off the freeway. I would highly recommend it."
