Nice spot, comfortable rooms, great view. The pool and hot tub were great for our family. Wish the TVs had streaming capabilities.

Wanted to love it here, the check in staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean. That's where it ends. There's no vending machine so hopefully you don't get thirsty or hungry at night when everything is closed, so that was a bummer. The smoke detector flashing a bright green light directly above your bed penetrates your eyelids. THEN the real fun began at 5 am when our upstairs neighbor got up. I don't know what was going on but the whole ceiling creaked which is what woke me up. Then this person either did a workout or speed walked around the room until 10am, this included dragging a chair around? We had gotten in late so this meant no sleep for us. We did request and were given late checkout which we appreciated but the noise literally NEVER stopped from 5am to 11am. There's clearly zero insulation and even using a fan app on my phone didn't drown it out. Nice idea poorly executed by builders. We also had a great view of a garage so that was fun.

We booked a room here as locals to use the pool for our young daughter. The room was nice and we had a blast swimming. The new restaurant is amazing.
