Such a disappointment. And i hate leaving reviews. But After working everyday for months. Spending good money, Wanting a close to home quick relaxing getaway expecting a nice relaxing room but instead ending up leaving after 4 hours Room was dirty, furniture cheap cardboard, bed the most uncomfortable ever. And i get they been remodeling. But maybe dont rent out a room thats dirty, bare and just not a relaxing place that was expected for the money. Best part was the our awesome waitress i think was Amanda,

The room was very spacious and had wonderful amenities. However, the door to the balcony was not secure, there was a ceiling issue above the in-room hot tub. I realize the next part may seem petty but the cleaning products they use are overwhelming. Not sure if it was PineSol or Fabuloso but it was extreme.
