Pros +
- Clean comfortable rooms. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Great hot tub and pool. Breakfast was wonderful, nice selection and switched up each day.
- Coffee was good breakfast was ok but junk food. Staff was exceptional. Robert was present in the evening and he was professional, interested in us having a good stay and appeared genuine.
- Second morning I was there the breakfast was so horrible and the lady serving the food was so rude and with a horrible attitude. Maid was so lazy did not clean the room and didn't give us not even a towel. No good experience, not coming back to this hotel.
Cons -
- The blackout curtains did not cover the window. A creepy lack of privacy . I pinned them together.
- The loud ac and the noise level with guest on the main floor. The breakfast area could have been bigger.
