Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room that it was assigned to us had a strong humidity odor like when you recently get the carpet clean. We left the door open to let the air out but it didn’t work. I called the front desk and the operator told me that he was going to call me back but, instead the handyman was there to give to the key to another room without any communication so we had to move. The room wasn’t smelly but when trying to make a cup of coffee the coffee maker didn’t work, finally one of the reasons that I booked this hotel was because it is advertised with a heated pool but it was not and when I asked the gentleman at the front desk where I could get the towels to go to the swimming pool he told me that it was better to bring the ones from my room because they didn’t have always towels there likely they did but we couldn’t use the swimming pool. List: Humidity smell room Broken coffee maker False advertisement regarding heated swimming pool.

I was booked in the wrong room, some glitch with an upgrade they said. My confirmation email said I booked a queen queen room but I was given a king room and when I let front desk know I needed two beds I was informed there were no rooms available with two beds. I was in town for surgery, already very stressed, Not great. Would’ve been good to at least be offered a discount. That aside, I’ve stayed here a few times and really like this place. Feel like I found a hidden gem.
