Basic and clean hotel with great wifi
I stayed three nights and the room was clean and simple. Amazing wifi, but poor tv reception and selection. My room was near the office and spa and there was a lot of foot traffic and noise -- I'd recommend a room on the second floor. They seem to be renovating so there was renovation noise after 9 am too. Pool looked good but was too cold to try it out. Nice breakfast included. I had two strange breakfast related experiences. First, I was told breakfast was served between 7 and 9 am, but then got a call at 6:30 am my first morning to ask what time I wanted breakfast. On my third morning, I had someone knocking on my door with room service at 7 am. I hadn't requested room service/breakfast at all so that was odd. Very nice personnel and not a mosquito!
