Upon arriving at checkin time there was a line of 6 people before me, and only one clerk working. He was doing his best. But was very stressed. He apologized to everyone several times, the other clerk was running late. When I finally got my turn, checking in went smoothly until we were told the pool and hot tub were not going to be available for the length of the stay. Then asked “Is that going to be ok?”😄 I was not smiling by then. What could we do? I’ve already paid in full and left a deposit now the only amenities they have will be unavailable. Very disappointed. I hope there is no problem with my deposit refund which will take a few days.

The room was a nice size, however the bed was very dirty. The bathroom set up was weird. I prefer the sink and bathtub to not be so close to the toilet. It was difficult to move in and out the bathroom. The cold water in the shower was hot, and vice versa.
