Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel is located near everything, including good restaurants and the aquarium, but being on the flight path of the airport can be a drawback. The rooms are spacious, updated, and kept really clean, accommodating up to 6 adults comfortably. The service was exceptional, especially with the very nice receptionist and laundry service available. The dining experience featured fresh waffles, not frozen ones, but with limited seasonal salads. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, offering great value for money.
The hotel is conveniently located near golf courses, everything I needed, and some great hiking trails like Jack's Peak Park. The rooms were well kept and had 3 comfortable Queen beds, ideal for accommodating 6 adults, all for a great value. However, being on the flight path of the airport could be a minor disturbance.
