Great Stay

nice staff clean hotel great maids birthday gift

The staff was super nice. The hotel was kept clean, and I commend the maids. My check-in lady was Bestie, she was great. I also thank them for the birthday gift I received. I loved it all.

I didn't like that there were not many snack options besides the buffet or dinner and keys for the doors. I had to prepare myself every time I went to my room for a walk back to the reception to get a new key. It was annoying.

Rooms

The room features a minibar. It was always stocked quickly when requested. A housekeeper did a very nice job. This ensured a comfortable stay, and the air conditioning kept the room cool and relaxing, a great thing after being in the sun.
