It was overall a wonderful stay. It was hectic at times with the mattress changes in various rooms in our area, but still such a beautiful location. Our room was right outside the pool. It was very convenient to have the freeway entrance, outlets, restaurants and convenience stores so close by. More over, it's wonderful how all staff interacted with were very helpful. I would definitely stay there again!
