Parking gate access is horrible. Room key works half the time. Had to go front desk cuople times. Staff night shift manager had a non-caring attitude. And they charge $45 parking per day and dealing with this inconvenience. Shower head was leaking bad. Not a good first experience. Wont be staying here in future.

Loved the entire stay. Eveything was clean and convenient. My only issue was an our restroom looked very old and was falling apart in some places but they let change rooms, all was good. The view was great and the restaurant had all tasty food. I went and had a massage there and was very happy with my masseuse. All services were great.

The front desk staff were amazing. The room smelled like mold and the heater made a lot of noise and leaked water onto the balcony. The restaurant waitress and hostess were not very friendly. The view and the pool/ hot tub were amazing and the location was also very good and pretty views.
