"Great character building. Lots of sitting areas and the music was awesome and relaxing. A small fridge in the room would have been nice. The mattress was soo comfy."
"Like others have said this resort has potential. Likes: super quiet, pool and loungers, room size and balcony, full kitchen, staff. Dislikes: blackout blinds quit at 5 am, no sun at pool until 11 am, no cutting board and not one oven safe pan or baking sheet, aggressive bathroom fan, no room amenities or towel refresh for three days. Townsite is a quick five minute drive. Nothing to do at the resort besides the pool. Pretty good value for money but not sure would stay again. Minimal views. East...
"The hot breakfast that was included was very good with hot items including hash browns, bacon, omelette and pancakes, as well as yogurt, cereal, toast, bagels, juice and coffee."
"The front desk girl was great. The hot tub jets were not working. There was also sand or grout particles in the bottom of the hot tub. Breakfast was ok."
