Really nice place. Managers special every evening- two free drinks per person from 5:30 to 7:30, free coffee bar all day, huge breakfast spread. Room was super nice, pool area was clean and even though we were on the ground floor right next to the pool it was very quiet. Would definitely stay here again.
