This place was great for our family of 6. The bunkbeds were a welcomed addition so everyone could sleep separately. The staff were some of the friendliest we've encountered. The breakfast was good but repetative if you are staying for long than a couple nights. The laundry facilities were great and the rooms were clean. If your room is facing the pool it is loud but quiets around 10pm. The parking underneath is monitored. A fellow guest decided to park on the rd vs paying for parking and her car was broken into one night.

Dislikes: Parking should free. Paid deposit upon checkin only to find out it there was additional parking fee for inside parking. We ended up parking outside the property making it unsafe. Need new pillows. Sink pipes were leaking and our towels kept getting wet. Cove base needs re caulked. Overall it was quiet and breakfast was good.

Comfortable, clean, quite. Parking could be better. Breakfast eating area needs more space to eat, not enough chairs/tables to sit. Coffee in lobby area should be 24hrs, i was told coffee not available until 4pm. Thanks.
