We really liked the location and staff were great. However, we had a hard time sleeping because we heard the people next to us (just casual talking and coughing), and the people above us. We also heard all of the breakfast commotion, so trying to sleep in didn't work.

Accommodated our very late arrival due to flight delays. Property was very clean. Only complaint is poor vanity lighting and sink outside the bathroom which wakes everyone in the room up.
