This has been our main place to stay while on vacations, but it seems less attractive now. The first receptionist wasnt as welcoming as the once we've had in the past, now the ice machine was out of service, our room had only 3 pillows, when we asked for more they didnt have any, we needed more towels, but we had to turn in dirty ones first. It just seemed very unprofessional, and when going out for dinner, we couldnt find a parking space. The parking lot was packed! So out of 5, I rate this place a 3. Its a good place, just needs a bit more attention.

It was great! Very clean!! The front staff woman was the nicest person ever! So amiable and kind. Check in was easy. Room was very clean. Pool was great. We also found a place where we could watch sundown and put our chairs out; you could also fish and it was only a 2 min walk. So beautiful. Definitely returning

The toilet got clogged and they had no one to service it, and the sink had ants all over it. Couldn't stay the second day since the washroom was basically unusable.
