Didn’t receive vip perks. Which I figured they wouldn’t as that seems to happen with most side perks off the app. Rooms were nice but had to ask for additional towel as there was only one in room. Staff was very friendly. Checking went smooth. Would recommend.

"Loved the staff!! Friendly and welcoming. Loved the amenities. Enjoyed playing corn hole. I liked having the pool but most of the time it was very rowdy and kids were throwing balls and jumping in so not where I wanted to hang and relax with my family. Would be nice to have a 2 hour adult only time ..."
