The room was nice. Remember to pick your cell phone cords up off the floor before house keeping comes in or they will destroy them in the vacuum. Other than that the stay was very pleasant.

Noisy if you had a room near pool on same floor as pool. If I stayed again would get balcony above pool. Also should not have a picture of hot tub in photo gallery since you say hot tub is permanently closed. False advertising

This property isn’t anything like what the pictures claim. It is very old and not well kept. I have stayed in old hotels before, they are still maintained.

I booked connected rooms for my kids and called twice the week before to confirm, but unfortunately, the rooms were not adjoining upon arrival. Thankfully, the manager was very kind and accommodating—he placed us between one of our rooms and a family member’s room and also offered a discount for the inconvenience. The hotel was fully booked and a bit noisy, especially with kids running up and down the hallways and using the elevators frequently. My room also overlooked the breakfast area, so the morning noise was noticeable. That said, the hotel itself is lovely, and the pool is beautiful. I’m sure if I visit again during a quieter time, I’ll be able to enjoy everything it has to offer.

Rooms and pool were great, but I would stay there just for the bar and restaurant. They had incredible food and a super fun vibe at the bar. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!
