Interesting location. Parking is in an underground garage across the street. Nice bagel shop about a block away; Sam’s Bagels - the breakfast bagel is yummy! Room was a little small, but efficient. Great bathroom setup. Worked for us!

I stayed here for about a week and had a great experience. The staff was friendly and helpful whenever approached, but never overly attentive or intrusive, as can sometimes be the case at other five-star hotels. I really appreciated their more hands-off approach, which made an extended stay feel relaxed, comfortable, and almost residential.

"Absolute nightmare stay at Miracle Springs Resort. The place is terribly maintained. Everything feels old, worn out, and neglected.
