The room was spotless, staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Pool and hot tub were great! The only flaw was breakfast - it was disappointing, especially given how great everything else was. The options were good, however everything looked to have been sitting and overcooked even though I was there at 7am.

The hot tub was definitely hot. This is the first hotel that truly had a heated swimming pool. It was perfect. The breakfast was delicious. Everything was nice and clean and organized. The hotel itself was nice and clean and professional. The surroundings areas were under construction around the hotel.So that was unpleasant visually. Not the hotel's fault.It was the areas around him that was doing construction
