I like the room jacuzzi suite with balcony but no Wi-Fi on the 2nd floor for my 2 day stay (1st floor only for Wi-Fi who wants to go down to lobby area to use it SMH). was bs it’s on them to provide satisfaction of that service to customers and the owner didn’t t care at all the beds are not soft at all they suck beds hard as a rock every room but the staff were super cool I hope they get treated good I wasn’t even asking for a big kick back the area is still beautiful and I want go back but the beds make me never want to go back and the owners attitude towards his customers makes hard to spend our money here again

I like the location, but the door to my room had to be slammed in order to close it and the tv didn’t work.. I didn’t say anything bc I assumed I got that room bc I booked through Expedia. Otherwise it was clean and it was quiet..
