I got a little lost but with a better navigator, this place is easy to get to by car. In same parking lot as a grocery store with long hours and anything you need. My room had a fireplace and the pool was refreshing so in shoulder season, the balance was wonderful. Quiet and comfortable in the 400 rooms at the back.
