Great location, very clean, comfortable. Breakfast was ok mostly sweets and starches. I feel the price was a little high for the place but the location is fantastic. Couldn’t use the pool but looked very clean. Staff was very friendly.

The property is just ok at best. Room was ok, barely. Towels are thin and barely enough. There is a small fridge and micro which was nice. Breakfast was the worst I have seen. 2 types of cereal, a few yogurts, and make your own waffles. Coffee was Awful! Not worth $500 for two nights.
