Check in was a breeze and the lobby smells amazing. The staff were so nice and welcoming. The rooms showed their age a little but it was clean and well stocked. You get a complimentary drink from the hut which is so cool. We loved having a cocktail and getting to relax after a long travel day. We will definitely be back.
