Best for the Price!

Was one of the best hotels we have stayed and we have stayed in quite of few hotels. Only issue was the jacuzzi/hot tub was not hot. It was the same temperature as the pool. We really enjoyed the fire pit. Quite a few restaurants that were within walking distance.

The first time the room was perfect but this time, the room had a stink to it, not horrible but just enough to be off putting. They offered several other rooms that weren’t any better.!other than that I love this hotel. Very close to restaurants and across the street from the mall and many other shops.
