Our experience was a mixed bag. Check-in was frustrating, but Anna at the front desk was amazing and made up for it! The room was comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent with so many choices. The pool area needs some TLC, though.

The room was comfy, but a little warm due to chiller issues. The bathroom was beautiful, but one light didn't work and some wallpaper was peeling.
