Didn’t know what to expect since I haven’t heard of this hotel brand before but I will always search for this hotel when I travel. Upgraded carpets , furniture and other amenities throughout the hotel. The staff was all friendly. Each hotel associate I encountered greeted me with a “ hello” and a smile. Property is immaculate outside and well kept. Take your chances on this hotel, you will not be disappointed.

Nice huge Jacuzzi room
I would stay there again. We got the jacuzzi room. It was big in size. Yo I can fit 2 king size beds and a couch in the room. Very nice room. Only thing I would say was a downer was each night we were there someone was smoking a huge amount of weed and it was all in my room. We stayed for 2 nights and each night after 12 is when I smelled it. Of course it’s not the property fault because they are not the ones doing it. Just so happen there are people that’s feels they should do that anywhere. It’s their business. I just think they should be mindful of others. Nice breakfast and nice ladies serving it and they kept things clean.

The front desk was nice and helpful. Pool area was clean. Coffee maker at breakfast was broke, but a deal breaker. Room and bathroom were all clean. We came inlater in the evening and had to leave early. Breakfast was ready on time and there was a nice variety.

We got to the hotel about 1:00 AM. The elevator wasn’t working but we were given a room on the top floor. We were given a key to a room that already had people in it. So that’s a very awkward moment at 1:00 AM to basically break into another person’s room. The desk agent was very friendly, but not overly competent. 2nd attempt to get a room was still on the top floor… but at least it didn’t have other people in it. Beds were nice, but the pillows were so small. It was half the length of a normal pillow so I woke up with a kinked neck. Free shuttle to the airport was very convenient.
