Nice except for damaged mattress.
Our stay was nice except for one very big thing: the bed (which explains the low stars under comfort and condition). The first night our mattress was completely shot; we sunk when lying down and had to use extra pillows under our backs to get any support. The next day we were able to change rooms and the mattress was MUCH better. I hope they will inspect all their mattresses to make sure they're in reasonably good shape.
