Lovely Stay!

very nice sounddelicious drinkclean roomparking lot
I stayed at this venue while attending a concert and chose the dinner package, and it was AMAZING! The concert venue had very nice sound quality! The dinner was also AMAZING!!! The pool was very quiet! The drinks were delicious! The room was super clean and cozy. I will definitely be back!
I experienced a minor inconvenience with the room's location upon arrival, as it initially overlooked the parking lot, but I was told that other rooms were booked.
Service

Maria from the staff explained all amenities upon arrival, and she gave helpful explanations regarding the perks of the area, including nearby restaurants and attractions. The shower had multiple settings and delivered strong water pressure, which I definitely enjoyed.
Dining
8/10
The bar provides a wide variety of beverage options, including cocktails and beers, and it has a casual food menu with selections from the restaurant. The food was tasty! The breakfast and dinner options had a wide variety, and they were well-prepared.
