Overall score3.0/ 5
Hotel is currently undergoing renovations. Didn’t know that prior to arrival but it didn’t have a negative impact on our stay. Hotel staff were all very nice and helpful. Beds were comfy. Water pressure and temp could be better but I chalked that up to the work being done in hotel. Hotel provided towels for outdoor pool. Better signage for how to find the outdoor pool is needed.

24-Jul-2024 Verified review, stayed from Tue Jul 23 to Wed Jul 24 2024 at a $195.42 average nightly rate. "Very clean room, comfy bed, delicious breakfast also!"
