This was a very nice property to stay at. Everything was well maintained, the rooms were comfortable, and the included breakfast was good for a traveling family. It has a location conveniently close to Adventure Land as well as a few restaurants. I would stay here again.

Beautiful view of a pond with a fountain from my window . There was a nice outdoor sitting area out there as well. The pool, and surrounding area was about half the size I had expected. It didn’t feel family friendly.

Area was nice and in walking distance to many shops and a couple of restaurants. The breakfast was excellent and had many hot teas to choose from. However, the queen beds were too hard, and A/C was very hot even at 60 degrees. There was no microwave in the room, so we had to go use the lobby microwave The mini fridge froze our drinks over night. The pool was small and only 4 feet deep, which works for cooling off and small toddlers. There was a nice hot tub also.

Rooms were clean, breakfast was good as well. Staff were nice. Very close to shopping, food and Adventureland!
Only complaint is that the hot tub was actually disgusting! The pool was ice cold so many people went to the hot tub. When the jets were turned on…. I hopped out of there so quick. The bubbles were oily and BROWN!! The water prior to the jets turned on was murky and cloudy.
I would stay here again and just avoid the whole pool area.
