"I loved the jetted tub. While the room was clean, it felt dated and lacked some basic amenities. The chipped nightstand, absence of shelves in the shower, and lack of any real view made the room feel less comfortable and less polished than expected. But the staff was very kind, helpful, and understanding that I didn’t speak much Spanish. I had to pay a fee to have the room decorated by an outside company."
