The room was very comfortable and clean, the hotel is clean and quiet. The Outdoor Pool and hot tub however we're not open for some reason, and the indoor pool was crowded, there was only one food option as the others are under construction at the moment. I wish that this had been stated on the site because I would not have stayed there if I had known.

The overall property and the rooms were nice. However, the staff was not helpful and the communication was clear. The restaurant on property closed earlier than the closing time so we had difficulty even getting food.
