Beautiful newly developed property. Lots of neat amenities like a golf simulator, rejuvenation room, speakeasy, bar and restaurant. Our only complaint would be the lack of shade on the patio side of the property. The sun was blinding when we tried to enjoy the patio in the late afternoon.

The property was in a great, central location to many of the local attractions. However, since they are so new, they lacked the room amenities such as brochures for the area attractions and local restaurants, plus what the hotel itself offers (restaurant menus, room service offering, ice machines, and spa offerings). Plus the suite kitchen was not stocked with any paper products. Other than these things, we really did enjoy our stay.
