Comfortable Family Suite

“I really appreciated the family suite we stayed in with a full kitchen and a separate seating area, making it feel like a home away from home. The two queen beds were perfect for my family, providing ample space for all of us. It was functional and had all the essentials we needed for our week-long stay.” view full review

Excellent Continental Breakfast

“The breakfast offered was surprisingly good for a continental style. We enjoyed the waffle maker so much that we had waffles several mornings! There was a wide variety of options including fresh fruit, hard-boiled eggs, bagels, and excellent coffee. It really set us up for an energetic day of exploring!” view full review

Kid-Friendly Pool

“The pool area was a hit with my kids. It was clean and well-maintained, and the staff provided towels right there, making it super convenient. They had nice furniture around the pool for lounging while the kids enjoyed their time splashing around, which added to our overall enjoyment during our stay.” view full review

Spacious Bathroom Setup

“I loved that the bathroom had a separate toilet area from the shower, perfect for my family. This setup allowed us to get ready at the same time without getting in each other's way. The shower pressure was great, and it was nice to have plenty of towels provided in advance.” view full review
