I stayed here with my husband for 2 nights. Some things we loved were: the spacious rooms. Our room included a sitting area with sofa, desk and then a separated bed area. The TV was thoughtfully placed where it was viewable from all areas of the room, including the bathroom. We also loved how quiet it was. We barely heard a peep the entire time we were there. The staff was great and we appreciated the fridge, microwave, and toiletries. Bed was super comfy, great linens and 4 nice large pillows! Also loved that the smart TV had Netflix available. The breakfast buffet was the star of the stay! We got there pretty early and everything was fresh and delicious! Some things we didn't love: We specifically booked this hotel for use of the hot tub, but found that it was luke warm, and pretty dirty, completely unusable. This was really disappointing. The room that held the toilet and shower was tiny! And impossible to open or close the door when seated on the toilet. Very awkward, especially for my 6'2 husband. *Some.towels in the pool area would be nice. Overall the room was nice for the price and id probably stay here again, but really hope they get the hot tub functioning soon, because that would be my only reason for not staying here in the future.
