There were so many things wrong w the room I will never go back. A bright automatic "motion sensor" light went off if anyone woke up in the night to go to the bathroom. Even after maintenance came and "fixed it," it still went off. I finally had to unscrew the light bulb and put it in the bedside drawer to get any sleep :/ Toilet was clogged and didn't flush when we arrived. The sliding door to the balcony was stuck and barely/extremely difficult to open. Shower water pressure was super weak, and the water in the shower didn't drain well. After 5 minutes it started to pool in the bathtub and build up. Bathroom sink stopper did not work. They give you 2 towels if you ask for a full set. The neighbors in the next room were so loud and pounding on the walls the whole 5 days we were there, day and night, woke us up how loud they were. I can't even imagine what they were doing to make so much noise 24/7, was horrible and made our heart race. The POWER WENT OUT every day we were there if we used the microwave. The light on the microwave didn't work. Also no guide button on the remote, you have to flip through each channel to see what's on. The only thing we enjoyed was the breakfast. They make plate for each person, incl. pancakes, hash browns, scrambled eggs and sausage. With juice and coffee, was great. Rooms need so much work tho, and deposit is most we've ever paid $200!!! Crazy! Do not book here

Bed was hard, pillows went flat, shower water was coming out too much spread, so it was hard to rinse my face. I asked for a shower chair cuz I have sciatica but they didn’t have any. We stayed for 4 nights, and they never cleaned our room. We will go to other hotels next time.

The hotel room and pool are beautiful. Bed is comfy, lots of pillows, nice blanket. Really good breakfast, and the snacks in the lobby were handy. But on the 2nd night i noticed a swarm of ants on one of the end tables, and then a few were crawling on me. Also, not enough parking due to many people parking crooked. Other than that it was great.
