Sorry but not worth the money i paid. Checkin to the room delayed and nothing for it at all, considering i have 2 kids, something little would have been nice for waiting (not just tea and coffee). Pool so run down, cold and damp. Not 5 stars in my opinion, also to add rooms run down and bathroom had hair in it. So sad j paid $445 for a terrible experience.
