This was the perfect overnight place to stay with family before heading to the airport the next day. We were able to get early checkin and they were able to accommodate our request for ground floor room… and all was close to the lobby, pool and patio area! Our patio faced the golf course too! Nice…

Staff were very nice and helpful.
Room was outdated and needed attention. “Sofa” had stains on it and not comfortable, carpet had stains, refrigerator had dents, dining chairs had tears in them, master faucet was falling off, patio had cigarette ash all over it, black out shades had tears in them. Not enough towels were left in our room for our family of 4. The size of them room was great, nice having two rooms and a mini kitchen, but rooms definitely need some tlc.

The staff who worked this past weekend was amazing. Special shout-out to Katherine! This was our first stay here and we loved it so much. We had a 2 suite bedroom and it was perfect for the family and I. Cannot wait to go back already!

Our visit was amazing! The staff was friendly, the room was beautiful. Loved the apartment like feel. Can’t wait to go back with our family! It’s 10-15 minute driving distance to great restaurants. Less than 5 minute driving distance to fast food.

When we arrived there was a massive party in the lobby. I had never experienced something like that, kids running and crying all over the place, people were just hanging out outside of the lobby and in the patio, everywhere. When we got to our room we asked for iron several times and they never brought it, there was also a lot of mosquitoes in the room. If they don’t have irons available they should’ve just tell the customers. The place is pretty worn down, the pictures on the side are not the reality.
