We only stayed for one night after an event. The check in late at night was a breeze and the attendant was very attentive to my mother’s handicap status. The apartment we had was beautiful and very spacious. We could have accommodated 6 easily, which was the original plan. We only ended up being 4 so we had extra room to enjoy. The breakfast was very good with anything you might want to eat. Definitely a place to stay. Highly recommended.
