"This is a beautiful and fun place to stay. There are many onsite activities and amenities. While there is a little more that you do to take care of necessities than a regular hotel, you cannot beat the price for all the amenities you receive. I will definitely be back!"

8/10 Good
"Pros: lots of great things about this property including good location walkable to the busiest part of town, nice amenities including nightly s'mores and firepits, pool, indoor hot tub. Loved the flavored water machine and Starbucks coffee/chai machine, teas, and bikes. We enjoyed the free game room (pool, air hockey, arcade machines etc). Updated and clean. Opportunities for improvement: shower was a mist (most of the water went through the tub faucet) not sure if it was just our bathroom or generally, and slowish WiFi. A water machine on the 2nd floor would be more useful than the ice machine."
