We stayed in the 2 king suite that has been newly remodeled. It was very clean. The beds were very comfortable. The rainfall multi-headed shower was amazing! The kitchen is ready to use with dishes, cups and utensils. There is active remodeling happening now, but it did not affect our stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. Can't wait to stay again!

This is an older property that is renovating. The room I stayed in was a newer remodel and was fantastic. Clean and full of modern conveniences. And possibly, the best shower in my life. It will be the first place I look on my next trip to the area.

Check-in was easy and convenient. The recent upgrades to the rooms were apparent and much appreciated. There is still work to be done around the exterior, but this will be a great place to stay once all the renovations are completed!
