Property is clean and new. Room is very spacious, as is the bathroom. There was an issue with our mini fridge leaking water, but was resolved after bringing to the attention of the staff.

A grand 2 night stay

Very nice, clean, updated hotel that's easy to access and in a quiet, safe area. Bed wasn't the most comfortable but not terrible, with good pillows. Room was spacious, clean, and cozy. Breakfast was normal continental items and well stocked. Pool/aera was excellent size and temperature with an amazing hot tub!
