Loved by guests
"The really cool part was outside the patio door: each pet room was fenced with astroturf and a big sand box for the pets."
"The patio is my absolute favorite draw; there's beautiful greenery, lights strung above, chairs and tables, all surrounding the pool."
"The room was amazing; comfortable beds, nice clean sheets, and a clean bathroom, loved that they had shampoo, and lotion available."
