The pool was not operational and this was not shared with the guest prior to their arrival although the pool has been out for weeks. Then without asking we were offered a refund and after weeks of waiting no one has responded from the hotel. This was quite distasteful especially given the fact that we did not ask. Breakfast had a lot of options and this was appreciated.

The jacuzzi in the room was terrible. Many, many times I tried but could not get it to work. Maintenance came multiple times, but they too had a hard time getting it to work.
