The hit tub was out of service. The sink in my room was clogged or something - took forever to drain. I didn't bring it to attention as we were busy and wasn't a big deal. These 2 tiny things aside....Myra and all staff were awesome! Would stay again!!

We were very disappointed with the condition of our room. The shower curtain had mold on it, and the shower itself had not been cleaned properly, we even found hair from a previous guest. By the time we noticed, we were in a hurry, but it was honestly unacceptable and quite unpleasant.
