It is OK for 1-2 days to stay… clean and roomy place, except the bed and low air circulation in bathroom. It was too soft bed to kill my back pain in worse every morning. But otherwise, decent place.

I can't say it was unique. Its a nice hotel but these were things that made things disappointing to me. The fitness room said 24 hours, but you need to get someone to let you in. The recumbent bike is broken. The seat is broken. You can't lock it in position. Then you also can't program it so it's impossible to ride. The other problem was the bathroom. I am tall, 6'3" and the toilet is very low. They really need a bar so you have something to guide you up and down. The shower had a bar by the shower head which is fine, but you could really use one in the back of the shower, where you get in, and one in the shower to hold on while washing your feet. The tub bottom didn't have noticeable friction against the soap on your feet. The hotel was very clean and well kept and the pool looked very nice.
