Room cleanliness exceded my expectations. Wish the TV had smart features so I can have other options like youtube and netflix, instead of just cable. Also, I think the milk (both kinds) at breakfast were about to go bad.

We had no towels in the room, no towels at the pool, too much chlorine and the pool was very cold in the morning. We went 2 years ago and did enjoy our time so we were excited to come back but it seemed to lack a bit in comparison to our last stay. Breakfast had less options this time too but still tasted good. Staff was friendly and the room was clean and the beds were comfy.
