"We had a great experience at this hotel. My best friend and I with our kids stayed for one night. We called the morning of check in to request rooms next to each other. Melanie was a saint and got us right across the hall so our kids were running all over trying to get from room to room. The kids loved the pool area and we loved the proximity to the MOA. Breakfast wasn’t anything special, but it was good and filled the kids up. When we left my friends daughter forgot a magnet on the fridge. I called and spoke to a gentleman (sorry I forgot his name but he was extremely friendly and kind) and he said we could come back and check. When we got back he had already gotten it and had it at the front desk. We will definitely stay again!"
