There was a very strong perfume smell in my room. It was overwhelming and made it hard to breathe. I have allergies and steong scents trigger asthma issues and migraine headaches. It was awful. I would not stay here again based on this alone. Hotels need to be more aware of these issues and use unscented products for cleaning amd laundry. Whatever was used to spray this room was EXTREMELY.strong and someone used A LOT of it.

Lovely and polite staff. Room was more worn out than pictured in Expedia, which was how I based my decision. Room was clean but the smell of the cleaning products was very strong. I didn’t have breakfast nor use the Pool. For check in, I use an Amex for hotels, and they charged an additional 7% to the room charge. In the end I spent more than I had expected. If this was listed in the Expedia description, I missed it.

The photos are deceiving as they aho the renovations from years ago. The place had not been kept up. We found a dirty rag in the room, there was dirt and hair throughout. There was mold in one of the mugs and in the shower, water damage in spots, and it smelled very musty. The pool heater was off until we asked to use it, did not heat up before the end of the night. The breakfast was ok, on the lower end of a continental breakfast.
