Room was okay, a bit wear and tear from use of guests with families. Breakfast could have been better, not much options. Staff very accommodating and kind!

"We accidentally booked a smoking room, they gave us some great spray and it worked pretty well. The coffee was good, the room was clean. For the price point I would stay here again. "

"I can't say enough good things about this property. It was such a pleasant surprise. It was very clean, I felt very safe, the staff was extremely helpful, the breakfast that they serve was great, the location where you can walk to everything was ideal and to top it off March was very warm and we able to enjoy sunbathing. The fire pits by the pool and watching the sunset was perfect....love this hotel!!! "
