Comfortable stay at a fun property

The room was very comfortable, although the heat/ac unit became quite warm and noisy when it kicked on and off. (should have turned if off completely even though it was 45 degrees at night). The room was quiet and the property was a fun place to stay.

Great hotel, loud guests.

This hotel is great and the facilities are dialed in curated to the max. Yet the clientele can be an issue. I experienced screaming children at the pool, and other issues. You will be in very close quarters with others that might not be very friendly.

Very noisy heaters woke me up several times during the night. Indoor jacuzzi was either lukewarm or nicely warm. Jacuzzi room needs doors that shut out the cold outside during this time - very cold and unpleasant! Salmon bowl had good piece of salmon but the vegetables were bell peppers, not the variety pictured. Ugh!

The room was clean and nice, but not well furnished or decorated. Most everything was white and plain, so it has a sterile feel. We had a courtyard suite on the bottom floor and there is no insulation from the top floor. You can hear your neighbors stomping around at all hours. Doors to adjacent suites slam shut loudly.

Amazing

Where to begin. The staff upon check in where super friendly. They even got us some bubble to celebrate our anniversary. So attentive and helpful. The room was exelent, super clean, comfortable with all the amenities you could desire. There was even a diffuser in the room and we where given an oil blend to complete the experience. Highly recommend the restaurant on the premises
