Guest Stories

Beautiful and spacious room, large shower and high ceilings. Everything was clean and spotless with friendly hotel staff. Nice fireplace on the pool deck for gathering with a drink. Many places throughout the hotel to gather with a group which was nice. Surprisingly, quiet room, even though it was in a long hallway and on the 2nd floor. So convenient to the rest of the WEC.

“This was our second time staying here. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Our room was very clean and spacious. We had a great view of the pool. Amanda S. (Guest Service Agent) was very helpful and answered all of our questions. We will definitely stay here again!!”
