We came in after a long drive and a dreadful Hotel before them, we were greeted by a friendly front desk staff, we walked into a beautiful clean room with a decent view and comfy bed. The breakfast the next morning was amazing, with ample choice and fresh hit food. Having the Universal desk on site was nice as well and lastly the pool was clean and refreshing !
