The room was very clean and it was the first time I had a computerized check in and key made right in front of me out of what looks like an ATM machine. The host was via satellite on a screen. It was very advanced and very cool! They also allowed us a late checkout. Extremely comfortable beds. Thx for everything.

We had a lovely stay. The room was clean. The bed was a bit hard but okay. We tried to go into the hot tub and it was extremely dirty literally chunks of god knows what floating around. Would have gotten into the pool but it was cold, which was surprising because I expected it to be heated because it's an indoor pool. But the room itself was lovely.
