Liked: Staff & service
This hotel is right out of the 80's. So very dated. The staff were great, no complaints. Our room's balcony was on the pool side. So room cooled off great when we put the air on. Too cold if you can believe it. But the comforter is little more than a sheet. Blanket was meh. Pillows felt like just cases stuffed of poly-fil. If we weren't so desperate for a room on HC wkd, we would have stayed elsewhere.
