No sure I’d return

The room was well kept and had beautiful upgrades however the bed was like sleeping on a hardwood floor it was very uncomfortable also I called for towels and they made me go get them myself there was never any maid service at all. Staff was friendly especially the security guards. But not sure I’d stay there again considering the price for what we got.

Nice place, close to our pickup spot for Stagecoach. This place had very friendly staff, and was easy to check in, they accommodated an early check in BIG PLUS. However the front of the rooms had no windows it looked like a jail cell block as you walked to the front door. No door fob’s old fashioned key. The room was rather small not like the pictures, small’ish fridge small kitchen but we made it work.Had a wet mop smell when we entered, opened sliding back door immediately. Pool was the biggest draw, had a restaraunt were you could grab “Bloody Mary’s” also food too ;). Be aware you will hear these tennis players early in the mornings…
