"Friendly and Accommodating Staff"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Very comfortable stay and the lady on the desk was very helpful with some room accommodations that kept us on the ground floor. My husband has back issues and climbing stairs with luggage would not have been enjoyable.

"Excellent customer service and very clean facilities."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The Front Office Manager, Elizabeth Rivera, went above and beyond when the A/C in our room was not working properly. There was last minute cancellation and she was able to relocate us to another room. We were very grateful as it was during the heat wave and the temperature was in the high 90's. Facility was very clean.
