Great Hotel Experience!

I stayed for four nights, and the staff was attentive. Madysen checked on me via text, confirming everything was satisfactory. The restaurant food tasted great. The non-chlorinated pool provided relaxation.

the location was acceptable.

The room i got was not particularly clean. i found some questionable stains on the carpet and the bathroom mirror had toothpaste splatters from a previous guest. It wasn't great. also, the breakfast buffet was pretty basic. The scrambled eggs tasted powdered.
