9.2/10 Wonderful! (922 reviews)
We stayed at this property for the first time. Unfortunately, we didn’t get in until late, so we didn’t get as much time to spend here. Typically I don’t do a review but I didn’t want to pass up the chance. If you are debating if you should stay here….I at BOOK IT! This was one of the very best places I have ever stayed. It was a beautiful facility, very clean and well-kept. I left feeling like I can’t wait to visit again! In fact, we decided to stay and extra night, but there were not open room, so we had to move another hotel….and I was sad because this other hotel (newer and more expensive) was horrible. This one set the bar pretty high, so it is no wonder we didn’t like any other one we went to. The only thing I didn’t care for was the pillows. My husband slept great and really thought all was exceptional. Give it a try….I think you will be very pleased! Thanks for a great stay!

8/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)
For as much as they charge you for the room it shouldnt be old, outdated and have a smell to the room. And you should not be charged for the breakfast, this is the first time I ever came across that. I will never stay there again a waste of money.
