I've stayed at other nearby hotels and this was a pleasant change. Quieter hallways, convenient location, easy parking for guests only. Rooms do not have microwaves or fridges though. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall our stay was pretty good. Although the nightclub was on our floor, we couldn’t hear it from our room which was a plus. Everything was neat and clean. Good hotel to stay at if you want to party, but we basically just slept and left.

Mixed Results

Property is older. Location is excellent no car or golf cart needed. Sink did not drain they tried to fix it and offered another room but we choose to say. Night club is loud and their customers can easily access the hotel hallways so not very safe
