Great property with excellent themes in the rooms. Location is great, coffee shop solid and pool was nice. Overall great experience only hiccup was the fact that they charged me for one night for every room in advance even though we had the reserve now pay at property option selected, had to pay the remainder once we arrived, made it complicated when reserving for multiple rooms, had to figure out the payment situation since we were a large group.
