The apartments are nicely set up. It has a lovely pool to use. Like other hotels that are located up the hill, where you have the benefit of it being quieter and having a nice view, there is a little bit of a climb if you're on foot. It's still pretty easy enough to walk up from the main street if it's not too hot or raining, and a very easy walk down to town. There were 6 of us in the apartment and although I am a light sleeper I didn't hear a thing from the others once I went to bed, it seems well insulated against noise.
Overall, no complaints at all.
We also stayed at the Summit apartments while in airlie beach (after a trip). I personally prefer the summit apartments, although the pool is slightly nicer at the mercure.
