We loved our stay there as everything was so clean, the bedding was extremely clean and comfortable. The check in and check out process was so quick and efficient for travellers, no need to queue and no wait time. We were able to park our car just in front of the room which made it easy to carry our luggage in and out. Thank you Island Palms
