Simply Super

Just took a few days to myself for my 50th Birthday and everything was perfect. I broke my charger and was able to get one within minutes from the store on site. Lunch was perfect at the restaurant on site. The Jacuzzi was big enough that you never felt crowded. Within walking distance there was a nice spa and a really great Italian Steakhouse. I will definitely be returning soon.

I stay here when I see my doctor, because it is close. Not fancy, but clean, friendly staff, good beds, the ability to park a few feet from your room, and nice touches like a fridge, pool, and a coffer maker. All for a good price.
