8.4/10 Very Good! (505 reviews)
"Rooms were very nice, although ours smelled like cigarette smoke. Because it was a new room, it wasn't bad. Property is still under development and will be an amazing place when it is done. Rated it a bit power just because there was lots of development construction around us."
