Faye

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Didn't use the pool. The room didn't match the photos on internet. There were no inside table and chairs. The 2-seater couch was very uncomfortable - we were told it was all architect designed. We would NOT go back there again. Two fold up camping stools are NOT furniture for a suite, don't think an architect would have specified them. NOT GOOD NOT HAPPY
