The room had an amazing view and was quite clean, the staff were very friendly in the limited contact I had with them during check in. I spoke with a couple different members of the maintenance staff on the elevator and they all seemed to enjoy their job. We used the in room jetted tub, visited the restaurant, hot tub, and pool one night which was both comfortable and clean as well. Even the fire alarm that went off was pleasant! Visited during the off season right before spring break so it was also a great value and quiet.

We were there in the middle of the winter. Nice and quiet, great views, great room options, plenty of parking spots and easy access to unload from the parking garage to our room. Do wish they had a special discount for adjoining suites for a family getaway. We also wonder how the parking would be during the busy summer season. We have stayed in the same room 2 years in a row and love it!
