The property is a little bit older, but the pricing is so favorable for us that the value was incredibly good. You can find a nicer place to stay, but add significantly more expense. The staff was attentive and responded to all of our questions and request very favorably. We would definitely come to this place again as long as the pricing remains similar to what it is right now.
