"Great property in an excellent location! Family friendly, modern and clean. Booked a one night stay at the last minute. Our studio was perfect. There are restaurants right next door where you can dine in or get take out. The parking is also very convenient and there is a shuttle. My 12 yo son loved the pool. They even play soothing Hawaiian music. It really felt like we were at a resort. We will be back!"
