We didn't get to enjoy any amenities, as we stayed just one night. It was very quiet, bed was super comfortable and the continuous fan actually stayed on consciously (I use it for sleep). Very pleased with our stay, we'll be back.

The price was great. The facility is decent and the staff first class. We didn’t take advantage of the breakfast although the presentation was real nice. We will return should we have reason to be the area.
