Quality, friendly and comfortable

Absolutely exceptional staff! We were immediately impressed with the kindness and friendliness of the great crew working there. From the front desk check in to the room cleaning associates and the ladies preparing the breakfast service, which was very good and had a great selection of items. Fresh ground coffee was available all day and the rooms were quiet, very clean and well furnished. I’ll definitely stay here again on my next trip.

I brought my youngest daughter, her sister and a couple of her friends to stay for her 16th birthday! We had an amazing time. The girls loved the pool and the room (suite) had plenty of room for all of us to be comfortable! Loved how close we were to Newport on the Levy!
