Beautiful place! Only a few minor issues
Cherry G (New York City, New York) on Jan 21, 2026
Resort was clean. People friendly and grounds beautiful. Only issue was the noisy neighbors through the connector doors. Big space under doors and the coffee in the room was terrible. Good location to parks
Nice hotel but aged

This is one of the larger and older resorts. The exterior and interior of the rooms is a bit dated. Plenty of bedding, lots of room, clean and everything on property is well maintained.
