I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and comfortable with convenient amenities like a fridge and microwave. Being just steps away from the pool was a great bonus. The location was superb, right next to a fantastic Walmart and surrounded by restaurants. The dining experience was delicious, especially the made-to-order eggs and great coffee. Service was top-notch, with friendly and efficient staff. The only downside was the lack of cutlery and crockery in the rooms.
