The room was fresh clean air conditioner was on point quiet property. The pool just needs maintenance my son missed swimming this time. But food, staff and cleanliness is always on point
Everything was just great. The hot water was instant and you don't see that much in a hotel room.

The heater in our room doesn’t work. Won’t come on at all. No maintenance person on duty. But the lady at the front desk was wonderful.
