Decent Hotel with a Unique Theme

relaxing massagesaccommodating staffworn facilitiesloud children

I loved the pool and spa. The massages were VERY relaxing! The staff were very accommodating to all my needs.

The facilities seemed worn. Room 176 has a double door to another room, hidden by furniture. Loud children kept opening their side of the door, trying to get to our room. It did startle us at first.
