The location was AMAZING!!! I had easy access to local spots. The breakfast buffet offered a great variety of options to choose from.
My arrival and check-in felt underwhelming. The receptionist didn't offer assistance as I tried to enter with luggage. There was no hot water when I tried to run a bath. I was informed the hotel was busy.
