Some mold in shower but everything else was mostly clean. The jacuzzi had a lot of foam, even when the jets were off, which made me not want to use it. Beds were comfortable and immaculately clean. Lighting was so-so and hard to direct, and you could not get the room bright enough for bedtime reading. The Internet reception was very spotty in our room, and the phone to call the front desk had a button for the front desk that did not work. But when my husband went downstairs to ask for an extra blanket, they were very quick to send a clean extra blanket. The complimentary tea sachets and coffee were of very high quality- Rishi is one of my favorite tea brands. And the tea kettle was clean and made of all metal inside. The room was a bit cramped for two kings, in the space could’ve maybe been better utilized.

Property was great. Kids loved the pool at night as it was heated. Only issue was the couple above got in a gnarly fight and woke up the kids, so much that they were scared. Front desk was notified.
