"It was an end unit, so it had beautiful views. Also had an elevator and a luggage cart, no walking stairs with all your things!!. Pool was great too! The unit was updated and very nicer decorated. I plan on staying here again!!"

"Great location, clean space"

"The stay was comfortable. We love the area and come every year. Our vehicle was towed from the property on the day of check out. The parking pass was sitting in the car and not hanging. The parking lot was not full and only had a handful of cars. I don’t like that they do not take the vehicle information for the parking. This made for a very stressful checkout day. "
