I loved the decor in this hotel. It was luxury at an affordable price. Staff was professional and kind. The only downside was the that it was pretty noisy. You could hear other people walk around their rooms. The pool was beautiful. I attended for a conference and the conference rooms were good and the food served was tasty. Highly recommend this hotel.
