In spite of their being no facecloths in my room, this was still an excellent place to stay. The breakfast was a typical hotel breakfast but I’ve seen worse. The coffee was from a machine that “brews” it…it was pretty bad. But overall it was clean and cozy, would stay here again!

This property overall is a nice hotel. The staff at the front desk are fantastic. However, there is much room for improvement with the maintenance. There were issues with the door to the room, not closing very easily. There was a time when we came back to the room, discovering that the door was open, most likely because housekeeping didn’t realize it didn’t close on its own. The engineer did take a look at the door and temporarily fix it while waiting for the part. It would’ve been nice to have access to the hot tub which has been closed since Covid. I don’t see any issue with resuming operations as the regular pool is open.
