"I will say what I did not like! 1. The phone in the room was not working!! 2. The shower was not working properly. 3. We were 2 families and we requested 2 rooms close by… of course, they gave us rooms way, way apart. 4. We have stayed only 1 night, came late and left early so had no time to notice the good parts."
