Family room - just right!
I stayed in the 3 bed family room with my daughter and 3 grandsons. Big room with a big bathroom. It is clean and modern. Great location, near a grocery store, liquor store and a few restaurants. The heated pool is inside a pergola type structure, protected and private. Friendly office staff. I would stay here again.

Very pleased with our 3 queen bed room. Lots of space. Clean. Comfortable beds. Large bathroom. Smaller full size refrigerator in our room and a keurig with K cups provided. Lots of towels. We were too busy to use the pool. Hotel was in a nice location. Dennys across the street is very convenient. Plenty of receptacles for charging phones. Very pleased with our stay.
