We got there and they gave us the room and when we open the door there was people inside the room. We went back to the front desk and the person was actually really nice and even when it took some time he got us another room. But overall the Hotel was not cool. Dirty, old and not up to our expectations.

The hotel website photos show fruit on the breakfast buffet. When I asked on the first morning, if there would be fruit, I was told that normally there is fruit and it would be on the next delivery truck. I stayed for 5 nights and the fruit never showed up. I did not appreciated being lied to by the staff.

You get what you pay for. The hot tub was not hot at all and filthy with pieces of lint floating all around. Seems like I got an infection from the water. Staff was friendly and it was nice to see rabbits running outside in front of the room window in the morning.

Would Stay Again

Hotel is older, soundproofing on rooms isn't great, can hear everything in the hallway through the door and the light on the balcony doesn't turn off so it shines in through the sides of the curtain all night. But, it was clean, staff was very friendly, breakfast/hours were good. Appreciated the 12pm checkout time, and fridge/microwave in room. Room was a decent size. We would stay here again. Maybe with eye masks to block the light next time haha
