The room was so clean and the amenities were wonderful. We went dancing Friday evening in the club downstairs. We hit the jacuzzi and pool the next day. Check out wasn’t until 12 which was so relaxing and the bed was our favorite. King size and so comfortable. The bathroom layout was also great for getting ready. Very happy overall. Parking being free was also so convenient.

Aug 2025

Carpet stunk due too fresh adhesives. Bar was horrible loud music and had security. Sleezy Mexican night club vibe. Music too loud. Didn't feel welcome. Couldn't get a drink and have a quiet conversation. Walking distance to restaurants. Buffet was terrible and hostess crammed us into a tight corner booth next to noisy people even though there were plenty of other open spaces. Breakfast food mostly catered to Asian flavors. Scrambled eggs tasteless and dry.
