9/10 Wonderful! (1,714 reviews)
The Hotel itself is beautiful! I didn’t get to see the pool area(1st floor) but I was told it was really pretty. Regarding the room. I had to call and have the sheets changed up due to a stain. The restroom walls have wallpaper and behind the wallpaper it felt crumbly. Other than that really nice place. They don’t have a fridge in the rooms so plan accordingly.
