Quality Resort Parkhurst
The room was very clean. Batbroom, spotless!! Tue room was easy to navigate to and the pool was great. Price was competitive against other properties but was way nicer! Slightly out of town in parkhurst, but we liked that about it

Empire Apartment Hotel
We were very happy with this stay! Washer dryer a big plus. Kitchen adequately stocked for a simple meal. Everything was clean and tidy. Comfy bed! Make reservations for dinner within walking distance. Everything was booked and we ended up with fast food type stuff. Yuck. Cafe downstairs was excellent ...
