10/10 Excellent
"This is our third time here. We’ve stayed in different rooms on different floors, and every time the rooms were absolutely spotless. The restrooms were very clean as well as the showers. You always think you’re going to find areas of rust or mold, but we have never found anything like this at this property. The staff is always very friendly at check-in, and they make checking in very easy and fun. They have a free breakfast in the mornings; however, we have only made it to one breakfast in the three times that we’ve stayed here. But if I remember correctly, the breakfast was very good. It wasn’t your average continental breakfast? It was full on eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and so forth. It’s a little bit pricey, but you’re definitely getting what you’re paying for!"

"I only gave this a 4 star. I have been there before when it was a 5. It is under new management and found it very strange that a resort (who charges a resort fee) was totally out of washcloths. They were kind and offered extra hand towels, but come on, Amazon is a day away for those folks who asked for one (like me)) would have been happy to just have one. So, a 4, but a fabulous place to say the least!!"
