The pool and hot tub are the selling point for this property--- they need some updating with regard to the carpet and more variety at breakfast like they used to.

Very comfortable beds… The outside hot tub was fantastic… Hot and clean. The swimming pool was not yet open but looked excellent as well. The breakfast was great. The man at the front desk who checked us in was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely return to this hotel.

The hotel itself is beautiful and very well decorated. The morning staff were not that helpful but over all my experience was great. It was unfortunate that their pool and hot tub were closed as I tried to book it specifically for that. Either way I give it 4/5 as the night staff were pleasent and helpful, the hotel was very clean and affordable

Only complaint was that the pool was not filled and couldn’t be used, wish I’d been made aware of that before booking it might’ve changed my decision. Other than that it was lovely.

Clean, safe, dated styling. Excellent hot breakfast with lots of choices. Shower was awkward. No shelf for shampoo and conditioner. Very touchy adjusting hot/cold mixing handle. Shower doors hard to open/close. Beds were comfortable. Overall a four out of five.
