Extremely Disappointing Stay – No Water, No Warning, No Solutions I would not recommend this hotel based on our recent experience. When we returned from dinner the night before our flight, we were unexpectedly told we had to be moved to another room due to a scheduled city water maintenance. We were transferred to a lower-category room that was supposedly going to have running water, yet we were never informed of any of this at check-in. Had we known, we would have absolutely chosen to stay elsewhere. The next morning, we woke up to no running water at all—no shower, no sink, not even water to use the toilet. This was extremely stressful given that we were only there for one night and had an early flight to catch. To make matters worse, the “alternative” room we were moved to did not have water either. We eventually had to shower somewhere else just to make our flight. At no point did the hotel offer a proper solution, compensation, or even a refund for the difference in room categories. For a situation this disruptive, the hotel’s response was completely inadequate. Basic necessities like water should never be treated lightly, and guests deserve transparency so they can make informed decisions. Unfortunately, this property failed on all fronts. I will not be returning.

The staff were great and the facility is really good. The pool has algae that needs to be dealt with. The breakfast was exceptional and the staff very attentive. My only beef was that we arrived early and let them know we had a 3:30AM flight departure and wondered if we could have the breakfast on our arrival day in lieu of not having the breakfast on a departure day. We really were not asking for anything extra..... Not even a consideration on their part- I got a flat out NO. Not 5 star customer relations in my view....
