Very large room with mini-fridge and microwave. Not alot of storage for 3 people. Beautiful pool and courtyard. The restaurant was closed during our stay but there were lots of alternatives nearby. Highly recommend Lucky's restaurant nearby.

Clean comfortable rooms. The only suggestion I have is to make the doors close more quietly. After weddings the doors close loudly all night and all morning

Remodel improved the looks, did not like the shower setup, could not move the shower head. Hot water kept increasing almost to scalding level, no elevator available and the restaurant not open for breakfast was disappointing. Bar staff were very friendly
Verified review

6/10 Good

Nice enough room, though lacking amenities like in room coffee makers and microwave. Shower head is wonderful, design of shower itself is true bafoonery. Only one glass panel and the rear half is open, allowing water to get all over everything! Also, restaurant is closed on Monday and Tuesday, which stinks because I stay there in able to eat on site. Applebees is a short walk at least, but not fun in 10* weather.
