"Fair"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Coffee maker didn't work. Light over the vanity didn't work. Entrance and exit was hard to navigate. If course they are under construction. Breakfast was very good. I'm sure,once their remodeling is complete it will be better. Can see the new improvements.

"Under renovations but pleasant stay."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Hotel is currently undergoing renovations. Didn't know that prior to arrival but it didn't have a negative impact on our stay. Hotel staff were all very nice and helpful. Beds were comfy. Water pressure and temp could be better but I chalked that up to the work being done in hotel. Hotel provided towels for outdoor pool. Better signage for how to find the outdoor pool is needed.
