Didn't realize the hotel buildings were not physically connected. I had to walk outside to get to my room apparently have problems with locals renting rooms possibly for illegal reasons so safety is a little concerned.

Great facility with terrible housekeeping
I’ve stayed at this property several times over the past year. It’s a really nice place, with well appointed rooms, and excellent front desk staff. However, their downfall is housekeeping. Too many times I’ve returned to find nothing done, no towels, nothing. And if they did clean the room it often stank of cigarette smoke, as the cleaning staff used the room to smoke! This last time I spoke to a housekeeping staff eye to eye, told them my room was open, and to please make sure they cleaned it. You guessed it, I returned to nothing done (see pics). Front desk set me up in another room, but moving is a real pain. So, beautiful property, great front desk, and terrible housekeeping. One night stay is probably ok, as you won’t need housekeeping. With that said, this last visit I found the bathroom dirty, which to be fair was unusual at this property.
