Great location close to everything and many restaurants and stores. Not too far from heavenly village. In front of the cabins was a grill and activities and toys for the kids to play with. There is also a public park steps away from our cabin with a basketball court and playground.

Overall, the room was nice and clean. Also had nice amenities like a small fridge, microwave, and a coffee maker with coffee. However, did have some electrical issues with the lights. The lights would turn off on their own, and sometimes the lights would all be on when I returned to my room, though I know they were turned off when I left. And occasionally, the electronic keypad on the door lock would go off like someone was trying to open the door, but when we checked the door, nobody was there. But other than these electrical issues, the room was fine.
