Awesome hotel experience! Brand new property with no serious hidden issues. I was made to feel welcome; treated with respect. Wonderfully friendly staff. I really like this quality, solid hotel; and, new furniture. Gorgeous, wife drive way that must have cost a fortune. Really must be seen! Beautiful, muted decor. Everything's clean, comfortable and cool! Bathroom vent is an issue. Good, strong shower pressure and water temp. Plenty of toiletries, desk space, closets space and chairs. Fridge, WiFi and international outlets. Would love to come again! Thanks!
