"Clean Relaxing and Beautiful"

From the minute we walked in we knew this was going to be a great hotel. Wonderful greating from the staff. Mike helped us with our bags and informed us of the hotel and our room settings and comfort. Quickly I received a text message from staff asking if I needed anything I could simply text. The executive lounge was a hit for us. Nice little smack and drink before dinner. Then a great breakfast in the morning. Pool and Hottub were clean and enjoyable. Everything you need was at this location. Gym, restaurant, bar, live entertainment, gym, pool/hot tub. Clean room with plenty of towels. I would highly recommend staying here and we definitely will in the future.
