Broken shower, broken air-conditioning, broken fans, mosquitos in the room when we arrived. It was the week of our wedding, and we requested a single large bed but were given two small beds instead. The breakfast was far lower quality than previous stays.

This review pains me a little. This hotel has the best grounds and amazing views. The outside is so peaceful and serene. However the hotel rooms themselves are clearly dated and little attention had been paid the aging hotel rooms. Air conditioning is not cool enough and fans are provided to support. The outside is amazing beautiful and peaceful. They capitalize on the grounds through various weddings and it is amazing to watch. Staff is also amazing. The only complaint is the room itself and appears to be a backseat to where the hotel prioritizes spending.
