The property is nice and kept clean, with spacious rooms and a courteous and helpful staff. The breakfast was good, with a nice selection of items and good coffee, although they had no half and half today, so that was an issue. However, my main issue was the bed, which was way too firm and caused me back and neck pain, so be warned if you don't like extra firm beds.

Overall close to our travel seaworld but i have a couple complaints. Housekeeping left trash on my table and dresser, didnt vacuum. The treadmill in the gym doesnt work and has no sign stating that its super tiny literally only weights waist of time. The tv in our room had spots on it like 3 white spots aso it affected everything we were watching. I let staff know immediately after each incident and when i made the complaint to the higher above she said there was nothing noted even after the staff confirmed to me that they noted it so they lied. They didnt not want to dadmit to it and apparently asked maintenence about treadmill and they lied about nothing being broked or unuasable totally disappointing would not book here EVER again
