The staff were friendly and helpful. the location was convenient for getting around. the room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. the housekeeping staff left nice notes. This was a welcome touch.
the interior room decoration felt a bit outdated. there was noise from the road throughout the night. the pool was in shade for most of the afternoon, limiting swimming time.
