Staff at check in was absolutely friendly and amazing. Very helpful. Property was very nice and convenient. Restaurant and bar staff were amazing and friendly. The only issue I had the whole time was on day of checkout at 1004am housekeeper tried to walk into our room and we were in the shower. It was not checkout out until 11am. If I have not checked out yet then no housekeeper should be at my door before 11am.

In all it was a good place, only thing that sucked was the speak outside my room for the pool area played classic rock all night long. The bass from the speaker kept us up all night. After some melatonin for me and my daughter we finally got a few hours of sleep.

Nice location. Restaurant was great but closed unexpectedly during our stay. The room felt grungy. The bed was lumpy and bedding was subpar. Housekeeping never brought us fresh towels or asked if we needed anything cleaned or refilled. We were disappointed for the price. Also they charged $21 a night to park, off season.
