Excellent Room and Service

king room spacious bathroom hotel mattress convenient parking
I received an upgrade from a studio to a luxury king room upon arrival. The mattress and pillows provided great sleep. I appreciated the spacious bathroom and convenient parking. The location was close to restaurants.
It was a little annoying that safety protocols restricted pool access during rain because of lightning risk.

the location was acceptable.
the pool situation was a joke. i had to book a time slot. there was no space for swimming because of so many people. i guess they prioritize non-guests.
