8.4/10 Very Good! (492 reviews)
Weird thing. They did not have a toilet paper holder in my room. Had two rolls of toilet paper and two boxes of tissues (which was lovely). Also the curtains didn't cover the full window. So…that was a bit strange. It did have a somewhat see through privacy screen that filled the rest of the window. But the entry way was lovely. The room was very clean. The bedding was nice and it was quiet. A newer thermostat. Iced water with lemon in the entry way. It was nice. Felt safe. One last small thing, the entry way had a little bit of an odd smell. Can not define it. Just unusual. Needs a small scent diffuser. Nice people at the front desk.

We loved the Pool and the hotel. The staff was super friendly too! The music is fun out at the pool! It does start early though. Definitely has a party vibe.
