Outdoor pool lovely & clean but loungers old & immennsely uncomfortable. Indoor pool clean, indoor hot tub hot but not powerful. Towel issue is insane. Tiny, flimsy towel..1 per person & if u don't return, $20 fee. Rooms clean & housekeeping was efficient. Beds very small & uncomfortable. Bike rental-only 2hrs free then $15hr per person. Location inconvenient. U need the bike.

We appreciated the hotel had an indoor pool since the weather was not that nice for a few days due to remnants of Hurricane Erin. The one nice day we were able to use the pool, there were several areas of the pool seating area that were covered in still water from the rainfall. It would have been a good idea if the staff would have pushed the water away so the patrons were able to sit in the chairs and not have water surrounding the chairs. Otherwise it was a nice place to stay.
