One elevator was out of order, and during March break there was usually a long wait for the elevator. The breakfast had a wide choice of foods, but the hot foods were too greasy for our liking. The rooms were in good shape, but need to clean behind the bathroom door, fix dresser drawers that won't shut, and leave instructions on how to adjust the thermostat, which was set at 25 deg. C when we arrived.

The view was lovely, and the staff very friendly. There was only one working elevator, which made it challenging during a very busy March break week as we were on the 8th floor. No towels available in the pool. No TV guide and the remote was very erratic with some buttons doing completely different functions than they were supposed to. Overall, for a budget friendly stay, it was good.

Could be better!

There was a lot of noise in the hall on Friday evening. Kids running back and forth. Also a baby screaming the same evening in the room next door! Finally, the room was not made up on Sat when we returned late afternoon, even though we left the sign off the door which meant you wanted the room made up! We called and got some fresh towels but had to chase down housekeeping for extra tp.! Over all the staff were nice and accommodating but they are lacking overall. Perhaps they are short staffed?
