9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)
Like the beautiful view, property decor at the lobby area asking with real fireplace, nice furniture, water pressure, comfortable beds, and most staff were welcoming and friendly. Dislike the check in male person, 2nd shift, because no welcome greeting was given. Dislike that the bench swing cushions were stained and cobwebs at the pergola. Pool needs updating, stained hallway carpeting, stained carpet in our room, and no water glass in our bathroom and, thin rough towels. Despite that we paid for Breakfast, food was underwhelming, similar to breakfast at other hotel chains with free breakfast.
