"Very nice stay. The only suggestion is that the pool area could be better kept up on a regular basis. Wind blowing leaves and empty cans about. Pool and hot tub needed skimming of leaves and debris. Wonderful place!!"

"The hotel kinda smells like sushi fish.... cuz the restaurant is right at the ground floor. I could still smell it in the halls. The design/decor is nice but very plain. The shower had a floor with a weird design which won't dry that well and probably prone to mold. Overall it was fine but I would prob stay somewhere else for the price"
