10/10 Exceptional

Our room had access to the patio, which was super cool to be able to just open up your door and walk out on the patio right Across to the pool. They also had bocce ball court. The breakfast was fantastic, but as I've said in the past about quite a few hotels, they should have a microwave available, so you can reheat your food because it cools off pretty fast. It's kind of a bummer, when you can't even melt your butter on your waffle, or your eggs get cold quickly. Overall the hotel was beautiful.

We had a very pleasant stay in June 2026. The property looks like it was recently built, or renovated. Everything felt new, fresh and clean. Staff was very courteous and helpful. Swimming pool and Jacuzzi were very nice and well maintained. Breakfast was good with a choice of healthy and fresh products.

After reading many reviews, I decided to stay here for my trip. It's a nice and good quality hotel. The secured parking lot is great. The only part bothers me is the power plug. I have seen the other hotel provides USB ports on the power plug. However, for my room, there was none of them. I hope they can provides this option.
