Bad service

The hotel was nice but there were rude, entitled guests in the pool who continually almost kicked my kids in the head. There were no pool towels and when we asked the front desk workers said she didn’t have any. So we had to walk through the hotel soaking wet. We also had 5 people staying in a room and only 3 towels…again when we asked for more towels for our room we were told that there weren’t any. So we had to shower with wet, used towels.

Very friendly staff and rooms were comfortable and clean. Pillows weren’t the greatest, very soft even though some said “firm”. The tub was also rather slick despite a “mat” being on the bottom and no grab bars were in the shower… potentially could be dangerous for those with balance problems.
