"My husband and I really enjoyed our stay, the location was great, staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was nice, the only improvement I would mention is beds were not very comfortable and the sheets were scratchy, the shower needed a good cleaning. Although I would stay here again, it was a very comfortable hotel and the pool and hot tub were very nice!"
