Too short

The only complaint i have is that i have 4'10" and have hip & knee replacements and getting into bed with the high mattress height was difficult. Either loweror have a step to use. Otherwise everything else was exceptional.

very convenient location, nice accomodations, rooms were clean and property well kept. What I found a little short coming was the water pressure in the sink lavatory was very weak. Additional help was needed in the breakfast, the two staff were great, but were just over whelmed by the number of guests. reorganization of the breakfast area could be addressed due to the congestion created by having the coffee at the same place where plates and cutlery are accessed.

Avoid!

The room was disgusting. There were black marks all over the bathroom mirror. Pubic hairs on the toilet, stains on the sheets, rubbish on the comforters (large enough to pick off), the bathroom smelled of urine. After about 5 minutes in the room we immediately left and went to a different hotel.
