Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was clean and staff was friendly, but rooms were very noisy. We were roomed directly adjacent to a loudly slamming door for the whole floor and underneath a group that was up very late despite the hotel seemingly sparsely occupied. Not terrible, but definitely not a good night of sleep.

Pros: Amazing location Very clean Very new Easy check in and checkout and nice staff CON: 4 person room only has DOUBLE BEDS! 2 adults do not fit comfortably in a double bed yet it’s advertised for 4 people. I hope they switch to actual Queen beds as I was told. Would be easy 5 star otherwise.

Low quality bedding. Flat pillows. I lost a head phone and the housekeeper didn’t find it. Front staff had to double check and found it. Says a lot about how clean the room may not be. A fridge but no microwave. Shower, no tub which I was looking forward to. Plus for the pool and outside vibe. Very nice all around just could use some upgrades in the room.
