"This hotel is in a prime location right on the main tourist strip. We stayed in a bungalow. The accommodations are dated but were nice. The parking in front of the bungalow is a very tight fit. If you have a large truck and most of the rooms are rented out, I don't know how you get in and out of those parking spaces. Also, if you are a larger person or disabled in anyway, I am not sure how you could use the toilet in our room. The bathroom wall is so close to the toilet that there is about maybe 15" from the front of the toilet to the wall in front of you and about 6" to the wall next to you. I actually hit my head on the wall trying to sit down. Overall I would stay here again for the location."

The beds are very comfortable - even for those with chronic bad backs. The staff was always friendly and VERY helpful. The grounds are clean, and the parking is easy. The resort is very well lit and easy to find, and it's the soo, so everything is within an easy distance. VERY well priced. They were very accommodating for our late arrival. I couldn't say enough to explain how great of a stay this was. We will be returning to say the least!"
