Hotel was adequate for one night, but would not choose to stay here again. We were initially given a room key for a room that was already occupied. Not an ideal first impression to walk into someone else in your room. We were assigned a new room which smelled of stale smoke. Pool and hot tub were nice. Breakfast had a limited selection but was available, only until 9am so don’t sleep in.

Beds were uncomfortable. Beds were not made during the day. Rooms smelt like moisture. Holes in screens. I was given damp towels to use at the pool. Had to request a second queen sheet for bed as first one kept falling off.
