We loved it. Location is probably something to not walk at night, BUT that's the strange little off the beaten path that google took us at 11pm to get to the hotel.

Staff was very helpful, I had double booked and they did everything to help me fix the issue. It happened in 30 minutes, as the Receptionist took the time to call the Manager immediately instead of waiting till the next day. The pool was heated...
