Average at best…
This hotel Is mediocre at best. I would say it’s a juiced up motel 6 with a good dinner place and bar nearby that keeps people coming back. The beds and pillows are subpar and while it calls itself a hotel, the doors open to the parking spots which gives it a motel vibe. I would not stay here again. There are several other places nearby that are a lot nicer for the same price.

Property was great, staff was great, ambience was good. However none of the restaurants food was good and it was overpriced. This place is in the middle of a residential neighborhood which is ok I guess. Other than that everything else was good.

1 night is not enough!
1 night is not enough. Not sure if it’s because it’s the Christmas season but our stay was magical! Check in experience was fantastic. Front desk was thorough in what the resort fee includes and they even provided a refreshing spiked Arnold Palmer. The resort is quiet but vibrant. Our king size mattress was so comfortable. We originally booked a night but extended our stay as we had an amazing time and didn’t want to leave. We’ve already discussed making this our vacation spot anytime we need a quick getaway.
