7.6/10 Good! (376 reviews)
The building was very humid … in our room it was so humid the sheets and carpet were damp. They did have dehumidifiers in the halls but it didn’t seem like they got emptied often enough. The microwave did not work. The tv worked intermittently. The toilet was a pain in the butt - the chain kept falling off when flushing and the tank wouldn’t fill unless you stuck your hand down in it to push the thing down to make the seal. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast has a lot of options. The pool and hot tub were good.
