Pros +

  • The 24/7 gym, the family friendly poo area and the suite style rooms.
  • Location is misleading. You’re on the freeway in an area that isn’t really walkable, everything is a drive but the way the hotel is photographed. It makes you feel like you’re in a much bigger property and surrounding versus where you really are.
  • Beautiful setting and gardens and nice room

Cons -

  • The flies at the pool and a few others were complaining of poorly working AC.
  • Rooms are spacious but the ac makes so much noise, it’s better off. But you hear the units of the other rooms. Bathroom had used lotions on the counter, we just didn’t mention anything about it. The bike I got to try and ride around had bad brakes.
  • The stairway to the second floor is brutal and I don?t believe any staff offered to take my suitcase up or down.

Location, the hotel grounds and the size of room.

The pillows were too bulky and firm.
