Very clean and modern; a bit of an oasis in a rather economically distressed town. Excellent shower/bathroom. Very friendly and helpful staff, very good restaurant/bar, and a very nice pool.

Good choices for breakfast and nice lunch/bar menu. The bathroom was small and had some old/broken fixtures. The room was good sized and clean, and the staff was friendly and competent.

The room was wonderful, the pool was really nice and the staff was extremely nice.
The only issue we had was that the bathroom's sewer system was very smelly. We got some air fresheners because it was very intense but otherwise we lived staying there

The staff was courteous. The room had no hot water. Which meant the Jacuzzi that I paid extra for I couldn’t use because there was no hot water to fill it up. My room was located on the street and was very loud all night from the street like a drag street. I will not stay here again.

Nice and clean Hotel, great staff. But they don’t have safe boxes and closets in the room, not even hangers for the wet towels after a shower. Please install them immediately

The hotel was clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The pool area, bar, and restaurant were all very nice, and we enjoyed both dinner and breakfast during our stay.
However, there were several issues that made the experience disappointing. When booking through Hotels.com, the only option available was a jacuzzi suite, which was more expensive. Upon arrival, it appeared that other rooms were actually available, which made us feel like we were pushed into booking a higher-priced room unnecessarily.
The room itself felt very claustrophobic, with only a small vented window and no proper exterior window. The layout also raised safety concerns, as it required navigating a long hallway with no clear or quick exit in case of an emergency.
The biggest issue was that there was no hot water at all—not for the jacuzzi or even the shower—which made the main feature of the room unusable. Additionally, the room lacked basic functionality: there was nowhere to hang or store clothes (no hangers or closet space), only two hooks behind the door, and just a single chair and a small table. The loveseat in the room also had visible stains.
Overall, while some aspects of the hotel were enjoyable, the room itself and the lack of hot water made the stay disappointing.
