10/10 Excellent
"There was plenty of parking, AC worked like a dream, the beds were super comfy, and the staff was so kind, patient, and helpful. The only thing we were sad about was the pool. It wasn't dirty, it just looked a little too green and we don't know why. We didn't ask or press the issue because honestly we were out of the hotel for most of the time we were there. It may have been perfectly fine. We saw someone else getting ready to get into it. We were going to be checking in really late and they accommodated us. We got down to breakfast late one day, and they patiently waited for us to finish. We stayed for two nights. We had one bedroom with two queen size beds and it did not feel like the four of us were on top of each other, there was so much space! Overall good experience!!"
