The place is fairly new and well maintained except the dryer broke on us and we were left with a load of wet clothes we had to hang around our room to dry. My other con is that at night the parking lot fills up. We got back from dinner and there was nowhere to park. We had to wait for one of the staff to leave so we could take their spot.
