Enjoyed great view from our room
Thank you so much for hosting us. We've had the most wonderful stay. The room we had was amazing. Lots of space. We also liked the fact that it came with complimentary milk, and not just creamer, like most hotels. Great view of the pool from our room and breakfast was amazing too. We will be back again for sure.
