My daughter and I had a deluxe balcony room and it was perfect! William, at the front desk, was extremely helpful and provided us with suggestions on things to do. Having an on-site spa was convenient as well. The staff there was also very pleasant. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous stay

There was a plumbing issue so we were moved to another room that wasn't as nice as the one we had originally. However, we still had a fabulous stay. This is still the only hotel that we will stay at.
