I really wanted to like this place as the staff in the hotel was wonderful. The restaurant and bartenders were so nice too. The issue was I booked a king room with the jetted tub and paid almost $200 a night for what I would describe as an $80 room. There was not a dresser or luggage rack so my suitcase and cloths had to remain on the floor. There was a space where it seemed a couch or dresser should be but wasn’t. There was not a single decoration on the walls. It felt just like an empty dorm room echo and all. I love kids but they were everywhere running in the halls all hours of the night and overtook the pool area. The towel (yes towel) in our room was a lone pool towel. I had to go ask for more and was given another pool towel. For almost $200 a night I expected way more. If I had paid $80 I would have been fine. You just don’t get what you pay for here.
