The room was so clean and the amenities were wonderful. We went dancing Friday evening in the club downstairs. We hit the jacuzzi and pool the next day. Check out wasn’t until 12 which was so relaxing and the bed was our favorite. King size and so comfortable. The bathroom layout was also great for getting ready. Very happy overall. Parking being free was also so convenient.
