10/10 Exceptional

The hotel staff make this place the one to go to because they are very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. The mattress was comfortable. 24 hour desk service. One thing that would make the place better is if they offered soap for the shower because people staying for one day may not be bringing soap with them.

A great place to hang your hat for a short while.

It was a great place to stay. Beautiful grounds with a pool. It was mostly quiet, a lot of young people looking like they were partying, but that is pretty much expected. There was a restaurant, plenty of seating inside and outside, I just had yougert, granola, and fruit, but still very good and a beautiful presentation. It was very relaxing hanging out at the pool after a long day white water rafting. I stayed in an all women dorm and a couple of the girls looked like they had moved in permanently with all their stuff all over the floor. I didn’t know that the shower didn’t have hot water so that was shockingly cold, apparently there is hot water in a different shower, why there wasn't a sign stating this in unbeknownst to me.
