Location was perfect , convenient, near downtown. Room was great , spacious , beautiful views, indoor pool was nice and big and also the hot tub , the only thing I wish that the pool was heated, water was very cold . Breakfast was simple , not lots of variety My only dissatisfaction was housekeeping , they never showed In the 2 days of our stayed , , we have to request towels at the reception and throw the garbage ourselves , definitely have to do better on that . Overall love the location and the room .
