Everything was really clean and well maintained, the beds were comfortable. The only issue I had was the inroom TV controller wasn't the easiest to navigate, but I didn't really spend a lot of time watching tv. Overall, I would stay here again.

Very impressed by how large and clean the rooms are! The pool was a bit underwhelming, but given the time of year, I think that is why the slides were closed. Beautiful hotel!
