Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We held our family reunion here Sept ‘26. It was perfect. Within walking distance to Armand Circle. Lido Beach nearby and was absolutely beautiful. Great place to stay when you need the extra room, great kitchen for cooking and plenty of entertainment with pool table, foosball table. Elevator for 3 floors came in quite handy.
