i loved the spacious room. it featured a bath and a separate shower, very convenient. the pool area seemed calm and cute. check-in was easy after completing it online the night before. maeve at check-in was friendly and professional.
the breakfast menu lacked vegan options, a problem considering my dietary needs. the evening dinner menu was incorrectly labelled, including cheese and eggs in the vegan option. the staff seemed ill-informed about allergen issues.
