Parking and check-in were super easy. This is more of a motel than a hotel or a resort but it was still really nice. It is a walk up window to order food at the restaurant, but the food was pretty good. I wish it had a full bar, but they only had beer and wine and wine-based cocktails. The pools were great, even in the freezing rain. I tried to book us some massages three weeks before our arrival, but they were already booked up so that was pretty annoying but not a big deal. Had to walk to a spa across the street in the rain. The room was spacious and updated and we had a very good night of sleep.
