8/10 Good
"Room was clean and well lit grounds at night. Unfortunately check in was rough. Staff was so rude. While I was waiting to check in I was given a pool key. I went back to the reception and someone else was there. I tried to explain I had a key for the pool but I wanted to see if I could get a room key now and finish my check in. He interrupted me mid sentence and said "are you trying to check in? Let's cut to it so I can help faster" mind you there was no one else in the lobby. Rude and short for no reason."
