The location was fantastic! It was easy to walk everywhere. The full-size fridge in the room was great for storing our groceries and drinks. I really appreciated the staff. They were unbelievably lovely and always greeted us warmly.

The outdoor pool needed some serious attention. It was quite dirty with visible debris. I felt dirt under my feet when I stepped in, unpleasant.
