"There are apparently 'executive suites' which my wife viewed and thought were beautiful. There are also those that are less expensive and not executive. We stayed for four nights in the less expensive one. At first there were a few things that we had hoped to see but were not in the room however the management and staff (Henry in particular) did everything possible to make our stay better and provide the room with some things that were lacking. Overall, I would recommend this place for a...

"The price of this hotel is not justified by the facilities and services it offers. I stayed here for 10 days, but unfortunately the quality and variety of the breakfast got worse every single day. By the end of my stay, the breakfast was below the standard of even a 2-star hotel. Just the staff was very helpful and nice. For this reason, I decided to move to another hotel. I found a higher-rated hotel that was $25 per night cheaper and offered much better facilities, including a swimming...
