"Reception was wonderful, we arrived late and were given a room on floor 0. It felt like being in a basement, room was very worn and dated. The shower head came to my nose and I am 5’5”. Several elevators did not even go to floor 0 and you had to walk quite a ways with luggage to get to the room. I would stay there again, just not on this floor. The breakfast was exceptional, pool and jacuzzi area looked very tranquil."

"The rooms were clean, and overall location felt safe. The only bummer was that the adjacent restaurant was closed during our stay, and as a family that was part of why we booked our rooms here so on our arrival after driving all day we didn't have to drive further to find dinner. Good news is, the person that checked us in said it was opening back up the next week. "
