10/10 Excellent
"Mr. Tom and the rest of the staff were very accommodating and friendly for our 3 night stay. The pool was a great addition to this property as we used it daily. The rooms were amazingly decorated and different in each room and all were very nice. Would most definitely stay again in a heartbeat."
