Did NOT disappoint

Everything was amazing! We really enjoyed the patio deck, and friendly staff! It was not super fancy, and was absolutely perfect. The view from roo. #206 did not disappoint. Location was super desirable with Mo's BBQ and Splash Cafe were super close! We will be back!

The staff came off as rude and brief. It looked like they hate their jobs… I am referring to the staff inside the hotel that help you check in or tend bar, not the maintenance crew. besides the rude staff the property has pretty views.
