Everything was perfect from the customer service which was impeccable. They went above and beyond. The room was very spacious for a family of five. I will definitely come back and book this room.

At check in and check out staff was great and super friendly. Blinds in room didn't work, toilet paper holder was loose in wall and we asked staff regarding getting some glasses for our room and were told we could go get them ourselves. Valet guys and restaurant waitress were awesome.

Staff was great, no issues. Nice clean room and bed, shower had weird tiny tub. Parking is 47$ a night, pretty ridiculous. Next time I’d just park on the road outside the property. Not bad at all for the price per night though, would recommend.
