I love this place. My friends from out of town come visit all the time. This is a nice place for us to gather and hangout together. The room is clean. The bathroom is clean. Tons of space inside the room. We love the room with the kitchen and tall table. Everytime we're in town, we always come back to this place. Love the pool and hot tub
