I had quite the mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is decent and the pool area is inviting, my stay was marred by several issues, particularly with room readiness and staff training. The dining situation was also subpar, leaving a lot to be desired during breakfast. Overall, it has potential, but significant improvements are needed.

The room was not ready at check-in, and when I got to it, there were issues like no towels and a small, cramped space that felt uncomfortable.

I had quite a disappointing experience at this hotel. The management seems to struggle with organization, especially during events, which impacted my stay. However, the spacious rooms and the appealing pool area were decent highlights, and the on-site restaurant had potential. It’s a shame that poor service and maintenance issues overshadowed my visit.

My recent stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. The main issues were the lack of available rooms upon check-in and the horrendous breakfast service. The hotel itself has potential with its lovely property, but the management and staff really need to step up their game. Overall, I doubt I will return after this experience.

Rooms

The rooms were in a state of disrepair, with worn-out carpets that smelled of mold. I was disappointed to find a broken air conditioner and cracked windows.

Service was severely lacking; there was no one around to assist during our event, and the few staff members present seemed overwhelmed and disorganized.
Location

The location is decent but not close to any major attractions. It's surrounded by trees, which offer a bit of greenery but the views are nothing to write home about.
Dining

Breakfast was a nightmare with limited options and poor service. It felt exclusive of popular food items, and running out of basic items like milk was unacceptable.
Facilities

The facilities were poorly maintained, leading to a lack of basic amenities. There was only one toilet for a very large group of people, causing long lines.

My stay at the hotel was quite frustrating overall. The room was quite big but had a lingering smell of smoke, and being close to the kitchen wasn’t the best experience. The lack of staff during our corporate function made everything feel chaotic and disorganized. While I appreciated the spacious environment, it truly felt overwhelming due to the lack of comfort and proper service.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The property itself is lovely and has great potential, but the service left much to be desired. Staff seemed poorly trained and disorganized, which really detracted from my visit. Facilities could also use some care, as cleanliness was an issue. I hope they can improve in these areas soon.
