The service was friendly, and the location was perfect: we were close to everything. We got the suite with a kitchen. While the resort was older and clearly showed signs of its age on the outside, the room was clean and very comfortable. It had all the amenities we needed!

Check in staff was friendly, the room had a kitchen (with dishes and cutlery which was appreciated!). The room was very clean however we discovered one set of sheets were soiled when going to bed. It was after midnight and the staff brought us clean sheets and then in the morning made it up to us for our troubles. Had a great stay, loved the wonderful view and would happily stay again.

Checked in for just two nights. Didn't expect anyone to come in while we were gone the very first day. However, we came back to new towels on our bed that we did not ask for. Coffee pot in the room also did not work. If you don't plan on being in the hotel very long, not a bad stay.
