We loved our stay here. I came with 3 friends and we stayed in a bunk room. We had a few issues checking in but were able to call and get assistance right away. The staff on site was very nice and helped us immediately with a problem we had in our room. We stayed right by the pool and were nervous it would be loud at night but it wasn’t at all. A very cool vibe and you can tell the owners really care about the property.
