Property and people were great. The room they put me in was terrible. I was next to the parking and the reception area. It was very noisy. Every time the room next to me used the shower or toilet, it sounded like a train going through my room. I think they stuck me there because I was a single guy?

Jack was fantastic! We had booked a restaurant and ask Jack what he thought and he advised another that was awesome. The second night as well. The beds were super comfortable. We were worried about not having ac, but that was not a problem at all. Loved our stay!
