Perfect

Our stay was perfect. The Hotel was clean, and our room was clean and smelled fresh. The staff was amazing. Shaula at the front desk was friendly and very helpful. Maria had breakfast hot and ready every morning which was delicious. Maria was constantly cleaning and was very helpful if we needed anything during breakfast. We had a great experience. We could not ask for anything better.

Our stay was nice. Great location to the activities we wanted to participate in. The room was warmer than we’d like and housekeeping wasn’t great. I would choose to stay again, though. The overall experience was good.
