“good because of the staff but not comfortable because of the room.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 2 nights
Now the not so great things: The carpet in the room was stained. Looked really dirty. The room was pretty small and since the bathroom has a sliding "barn style" door there was virtually no privacy or sound barrier. In a small room with friends or even family not ideal. Since the toilet has a very loud powerful flush the lack of a proper door to help with the sounds issue it made the sound of the flush worse especially in the middle of the night. So for an average room to pay the rate of $275 the first night and then to pay more than $100 dollars more the 2nd night was not ideal $381 for the 2nd night. I would not stay here again based on the room size and size of the bathroom plus there was no door for bathroom privacy. Jaime

Pet friendly hotel so that killed the romance vibe. Made the hotel not seem as clean since I watch multiple dogs go to the bathroom on the grounds. Gross!
Great vibe at the hotel. Clean modern hotel. Pool area was great with the bar area attached.

Misleading advertisement. No view at all. We were looking at grey wall from our window. And free breakfast not really free. For 4 of us, they gave us $50 credits towards breakfast, of course we had to pay whatever ‘s above it. Like $15. Not going back there for sure.
It was quite and clean.

“Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will do so again.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
I asked for an early check in months ago. I don't think anyone even looked at my reservation. I reserved a ground floor, pool view room. They were going to put me on a floor just with a view. This was not what I reserved. I did convince them to give me the room I reserved and it was worth fighting for. There was a lighting problem, but it was fixed right away by James. He was terrific. This hotel needs some basic maintenance in their rooms. The rugs have lots of spots, the furniture is banged up pretty bad. For the price, it should be in A-1 condition.
The location of this hotel is great. Hotel personnel were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was just OK, nothing special.

“It is a children’s hotel marketed as a luxury property.”

Upon arrival, our AC was making a loud sound and our sink didn’t drain. Several dark stains in the carpet too. This hotel is marketed as an upscale resort type property. It is not. This is a family hotel. The pool, bar, and restaurant areas were over run wirh yelling happy children all day and into rhe evening. Oddly there did not seem to be any parents or others adults supervising. We witnissed hair pulling fights between 11 year olds in the bar. IN THE BAR. The yelling and screaming started at 4:30AM the first morning. The second day there was a power failure at 3:00PM. The hotel offered no remedy even though the utility was stating on their website that power would not be restored until the next afternoon. We were forced to sray in a room with no electricity, heat, or hot water for 21 hours.
