Staff was very nice. Right along the main strip so kind of loud with traffic going by. One of the rooms we had, there was a gap all the way around the top of the door.

Would definitely stay again…

We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet & peaceful even with a new roller coaster being put in next door. The room was very nice, clean, & offered a wonderfully comfortable bed. The staff was very kind & welcoming. The location was very good, also. The only suggestion we could make is that the bathtub in the room we had needs repaired or replaced bc it was “chipped up” in multiple places, & parking was fairly tight.

Nice relaxing stay!

It was very nice. The front desk attendant Brianna was pleasant and helpful. The room was comfortable, we do wish the water pressure was better though. The restaurant was nice also.

I didn't like that my safe and refrigerator did not work. I didn't like the huge gap underneath the entry door. I did like the bed was comfortable.

The location was great and easy to get to. I think the front desk should have a refrigerator where visitors can purchase beverages or water. Especially water. I didn’t like how loud the bathroom fan was. That’s only because I love taking a bath and there was no way I could take one in the dark. The front staff was really friendly and I honestly would stay there again.

Manager was nice but we only stayed one night instead of two because my children saw a half naked woman on the balcony. It doesn’t really look like the pictures. Not bad for adults but not really family friendly in my opinion. If it was just my husband and I, we would’ve stayed. Just didn’t want to chance that situation again.
