Great location

Great location

The bathroom is small. No place for your bath towel if it’s two people in the room. The tv was out for the most of the day. Pool is indoors, not heated.

When we arrived the front desk clerk greeted us and listened. We checked in around 5 am. She was professional and soft tone

The waitress did not inform us that we had a choice to dine à la carte or buffet. We waited to long for him to check on us or even as if we needed anything
