Not enough staff, the front desk lady went to get lunch, and no one was available to check in guests until she came back, so I had to wait to get my room after a long and tiring day. They should definitely have more people

Breakfast was very disappointing—they were out of most items. I went to get a yogurt and, unfortunately, they had just run out. The only options left were cereal, milk, and tea. Even the juice machine was out of order. The pool was cold, though the hot tub was okay.
