I had a wonderful 3-night stay here recently! The room was so spotless clean that it might've been the cleanest hotel room I've ever stayed in! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The pool was very clean and refreshing. Having a refrigerator and microwave in the room was a nice perk. Thank you for everything!
