An absolutely amazing property! The staff was PERFECT - very accommodating and friendly. The rooms are nice and very clean. The AC gets polar cold and the water gets boiling hot. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner at this property and the food was absolutely delicious. The ONLY complaint I can voice is that the sink & shower drains slowly. Best property we've stayed at this year 👍🏾

The room was ok, we were very tired. Everyone was extremely helpful and nice. Hall carpets were very gross. Air worked great. Our first appointed room, the tub wasn't clean. The second was just ok.

The shower was disgusting. The place is not in a good location. Staff was really nice. Breakfast is not free $14.99 per person. Overpriced and the quality of cleanliness is just not there.
