    “Its a great spot. Great amenities. I knew when i booked it would be village side. So be careful it could mean your window view of the villiage is a car parked up againts your window in the parkinfg lot . The lights over the bed are like spotlights so we had to keep those off and the curtain closed . I guess it would be good if i was vampire. Shower is amazing and bathroom loved it. Pool very nice. Hot tub as well. Kayaks on the beach. Nice fire tables to sit outside and havea drink. Very close to all.stores and generations restursant . ”

    “Overall a nice facility, one room we stayed in had a nice modern shower, another room we stayed in on the same price and spec had dated bathroom equipment. Paid a wedding price 4x above normal market, and room was right near staircase, many wedding guests weee using our hallway as dedicated loud cell phone conversation area. Asked staff about moving and Nathaniel said “wedding noise is everywhere, we can’t move you away from it,” however clearly my room was at a congregation area adjacent to lobby. Worst part was that clearly a human sewage line had failed somewhere and was dumping into the open sewer grate between the two EV charger locations in Garage B. Asked Nathaniel about the feces and associated aroma and discomfort, and Nathaniel scoffed, nothing he’d never heard that complaint before. No hospitality training it seems, as he rudely grazed over and said i could try to find charging elsehwere. If the sewer thing didn’t happen i’d be more likely to rate higher even at the crazy wedding price. Also left our dog at home because $300 for nightly pet fee on a $400 room charge that normally rents for $100 was crazy.”

    “They made a big deal out of wearing wristbands, but we never did see anybody wearing one on the premises. Loved that we had the ability to have the air fan on for white noise”
