Unfortunately, the bed looked like linens had not been changed. There was hair on the sheet... went to the front desk to get new sheets. Got a new sheet for both beds, but I had to ask twice.

This hotel could be awsome, decent size rooms, great balconies on the rooms and what could be beautiful grounds, including a court yard pool, hot tub, and glass elevator. Unfortunately just run down and not well taken care of. A little maintainence would go a long way.
