Staff was wonderful large in part and very accommodating. Room was great. Wonderful view! Breakfast was a disappointment for it being a resort. Not many choices and more of a convenience store selection. We will stay again but that could be improved.

It was just what we needed for a 4-night stay. The hotel is very clean. The staff very friendly. Not many amenities. No: pool, in room safe or peep hole in door. Not having the safe bothered us most. We stayed on the 4th floor (top floor) and it was very peaceful.

Clean and beautiful view

It was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast is not great (cheap little boxes delivered to your room). They do not clean your room during extended stays. Housekeeping was mad they had to change bedding because we had a coffee spill. Overall not worth the cost.
