10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay here! Our room was very clean, staff were so friendly, and the breakfast is generous. We were bummed to miss the happy hour, but we did enjoy some free popcorn. Our only complaint is that the pool doesn’t open until 9am. Even 8am would be nice so guests can swim before hitting the road too late in the morning. "
