"Hotel Stay"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Hotel was very nice. Enjoyed the bar, drinks and snacks. These are the issues we experienced. Phones did not work in the room, had to go down to the front desk. No extra blankets are in the room. The queso was cold and the chips were stale that we ordered from the wait staff at bar. The water pressure was fluctuating at 11 p.m. and in the morning at 8:45 a.m. There is one remote for two TVs.
