Hotel was clean, but WiFi didn’t work for my entire 7 day stay. My room was cleaned only once in the 7 day. I had to request it. Not what I am use to.

Pretty mediocre breakfast for how much a room costs, and hot tub was not hot. But the bed was super comfortable and the place was clean.

Overall was a good property to stay at compared to others I have stayed at. We first checked into a room that did not look clean and had a bad smell. The front desk, moved us right away and that room was a lot better.
