Staff was incredibly helpful even when I needed help at 4am. Parking situation was great. Room was clean and well maintained. Seems like the type of place where people who work there genuinely care about the guests experience and stay. Bar was a great time and both bartenders that were working when we stopped by were friendly and very attentive. The pool was fantastic. Great stay overall. Would certainly stay here again!

Excellent 3-night stay. Fun, kitschy design. Great having the bar and restaurant on site. Pool was terrific with ample seating in both sun and shade on a very hot weekend. Rooms are well appointed, mattresses were a bit stiff and felt old. Staff was amazing!
