The property is in an okay location. The walls are very thin. So if you’re looking to get away and want peace and quiet this is not the place for you. They have a nice indoor pool and gym. Housekeepers can do a better job with cleaning, found hair throughout the room and in the bath towels. The water pressure in the sink was very low and wasn’t hot but the shower pressure was good. The air vent in the bathroom doesn’t work so the bathroom will get super hot. Breakfast can be a little bit more better, the eggs was to watery.
