Beds were very comfy, only stayed for the 1 night. Staff were friendly. We arrived late and had to call property to ask how we get access to the room after hour as website says office closes at 7pm to be told they don’t communicate until after 9pm. That’s confusing.

Family room needed a family size fridge!. And I believe the air conditioner in room 108 needs to be cleaned, as my whole family became sick while staying there.
