The room was very clean, bed was comfortable, and it had everything we needed. My only improvement suggestion was the pool water was cold and could use a solar cover or heater, otherwise everything was perfect.

We booked this hotel last minute and they could accommodate us. We arrived late but instructions we left for us and could access the room. We were happy with the room. The bathroom is very tiny. The shower pressure is lower than I like. Everything was very good.
