The property and staff were great my overall stay was great the bed was so comfortable I didn’t want to get up the only thing I could suggest and ask for is more accommodations of access rooms. There’s only two available and I needed a walk in shower and there wasn’t one available overall I rate my stay a 41/2 stars and have all ready recommended it to several others and I will definitely stay there again if I’m in the area thank you
