This is a good one if you want the resort vibes on a lower budget - I absolutely loved the pools. Room and common areas are clean and well-maintained, staff were very friendly, and easy parking. One caveat is that the railway track backs on to the property, so a train horn may wake you up if you're planning on a midday nap, but if you're only sleeping at night it will be fine. Recommend, would book again.
