Very friendly staff. We stayed during the week and they had a free happy hour. 2 drinks, the good stuff and snacks. They even gave us bottled water, microwave popcorn and a fresh cookie at check in. Best to bring your own towels if you are using the pool. Pool is small, breakfast had eggs/meat/waffles/cereal/yogurt, I think I even saw some making chocolate batter waffles. Not fancy but good value, we will stay again.

Rooms were clean, no issues and would recommend. One thing is they should keep a small broom/dust pan in the room with the kitchenette. Overall we had a good time. They even have the golf cart rentals there so no need to go elsewhere

This was our 2nd time staying here. We love the hotel. Having a fridge and microwave in the room helped us plan meals and save money on eating out. Only complaint we had was one of the employees just checked in a family and we walked in at 7 pm to get our free drinks for happy hour…. The employee honored it for the family that had just checked in and we followed them to the locked fridge. She said since we walked in right at 7, we can’t get drinks. I understand we walked in at the cutoff time and they have the right to refuse service to anyone but she was honoring it for the family that just arrived and was opening the fridge anyway. So we thought it was a little rude that she didn’t honor it for us when we had already been staying there 3 days.
