The room was nicely renovated, but the rooms did not have microwaves installed yet. Also, the pool was under construction which we didn’t know would be an issue when we booked.

Couldn’t controll the temp in our room. And we had no phone or hotel info in our room so we had no idea where to find an i e machine. We were staying in the 5th floor and our room was newly renovated so it was very clean.

Hotel was fine. Only one bath towel in the room. Shower had very little water pressure, more like a light rain. Long hair in the shower. No extra toilet paper. No general hotel instructions provided. Check-in and check-out were efficient. Staff was friendly-especially the waitress, Carla, in the breakfast cafe. Food was very good.
