"We stayed in a King room with a sofa bed. I noticed there was no available bedding for the sofa bed. It was challenging to get extra towels, etc. Breakfast is barely basic. To be fair, there is limited space for the breakfast area. It is quiet, clean, and appears to be safe."

"Room was good. Service is good too. Hot tub pool was small just for 4 ppl at a time. Parking was paid, it should be free if they are not taking responsibility of vehicles. Restaurant was BAD, Got Gauvac with Chips, it was spoiled one, even after they gave replacement. Nachos was very bad out of 20 Nachos chips only few had cheese on i, looks not interested in giving food. Totally Waste of money."
