It is across the street from the college. So many intelligent friendly and fun people. All walks of life. I sat at the bar had a drink. I ordered a burger and immediately met friends on each side of me. So friendly and fun. Even the service was exceptional and friendly.

Property was..... Eh? The room size was good. There was no central light just various lamps around room you could only turn on and off at base. Had mini fridge but no safe, the shower was adequate , tv was weirdly off to the side from bed. The view was of the pool at ground level so shades just stayed shut. Our biggest gripe was we put the do not disturb sign on door and when we returned from an outting the sign was gone (never did find it again) and our room had been tied up (bed made and items piled together yet strangely no new towels and nothing missing so not like a theif. Just irritating. The staff was curteous and professional, but the elevators had button damage, when we exited room this morning the hall had trash it it all round like we missed a major party. The parking lot was serviceable but has a 6' hight limit and frankly difficult to navigate lanes/spaces. The shuttle was nice when it ran.
