9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,423 reviews)

The front desk staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. However, the room felt a little dated, and the mattress was not very comfortable.

Good location, great value! We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and visiting the hot tub across at their sister property. Some nice breakfast choices, as well as complementary wine with cheese.
