10/10 Excellent

"Staff were amazing - very warm and made me feel that they sincerely wanted to ensure my stay was comfortable and all my lodging needs met. Stanley was especially awesome as my shuttle driver with offers to help me with anything I might need ant the property! My room was especially clean and inviting. I felt that there was personal pride and careful attention given by housekeeping to make my room special for me. Towels were thick and cozy! The property strikes me as having strong leadership from top down Congrats, and thank you!"
