Bed was SO comfortable! My wife said “it’s the best sleep she’s had in years.” The included breakfast was very nice and milk and cookies at night was a very nice touch. Everyone at the property was very friendly. My only complaint would be that the pool was ICE cold, it would be a very nice touch if it was heated.

Everything was immaculate. Very clean and spacious room, staff was incredibly kind, and they even bumped our check out time back when our 3 year old fell ill over night, allowing us extra time so he could sleep.
