The pool and hot tub were sparkling clean, and pool towels were available both days I used the pool. The room was also spotless. I did not eat breakfast, but I did use the in-room coffee. It would be a lovely upgrade if liquid creamer was available in the room, instead of powdered creamer. Next time, I will hit the local grocery store, and buy some, as the room comes with a fridge.
