Everything was excellent with the area the service. And even with complimentary coffee and special coffee’s like Mocha and Latte. The pool and hot top was nice too and open late which it’s a big plus. The one thing I didn’t like was the shampoo, conditioner & body were not good at all. We had to buy our own cuz neither was with using. That will be my only issue they would need to improve.
