Our stay was excellent! The hotel was super clean, and the rooms were spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped with all the necessary supplies, including a dish washer and washing machine, which made our stay even more convenient. Overall, it was a perfect experience and we would happily return.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,139 reviews)

We stayed in the 1 bedroom suite, a family of 5. It was an incredible value, with space for everyone, a full kitchen (stocked with pans, utensils and plates) and an incredible bathroom (including laundry!). There was access to a clubhouse with a gym, two pools (outdoor and indoor) and multiple hot-tubs around the property. We also used one of the propane grills outside to make burgers one night. We highly recommend this property and would definitely try to stay here if we visit again.
