The property was great especially with the access to the Otis. The fragrance in the air was a bit aggressive and masculine. There was construction outside and the trash trucks came at 4:30 every morning which was rough. But the staff was incredible!

The room was very nice; however, the beds were very uncomfortable. My sons and I didn’t get any sleep. In addition, the room was hot. So that didn’t help the situation. I’m very disappointed, as the cost of this room was expensive and wanted to my boys to have a great and comfortable experience.
