Had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The check-in lady—whose name I unfortunately don’t remember—was amazing. She stood out with her glittery eyeshadow and short blonde-pink hair and made us feel welcome right away. Katie from the kitchen was equally fantastic—so attentive, kind, and sweet. Overall, a truly great stay!
