- "The staff made this property extra special a special shout out to Liz at Guest services, Kirsten at check in, Brandon the bartender and Mary Lou in Housekeeping. Its a charming well kept property with great rooms and valet or self park options. The Pink Cabana restaurant is so good, great menu and cocktails and wine selection. I was travelling for a conference at a nearby hotel and was so happy that I chose to stay here and not the host hotel. It was an all in fabulous experience and I will recommend it and be back in the future."
