decent experience

breakfast buffetoutdoor areasliding doorsslow check-inroom servicemultiple calls
I thought the breakfast buffet offered a wide variety. i particularly enjoyed the outdoor eating area. our room was on the lower level, so we had sliding doors to a patio. We loved that. the room was very comfy and tidy.
The room service was a big disappointment. I phoned to place my order. i received multiple calls to confirm my order. eventually, they informed me that the wine was not in stock. the check in was a bit slow. we waited 20 minutes for our room to be ready.
