Pool Dirty and Dated Facility

The location was good, staff was friendly, and enjoyed our breakfast. Facility is dated, however and was not very clean: the pool was in. Very bad condition; full of leaves and not heated, so super cold March, the floors by the elevator were also dirty.

Wrong room but the rest was great.

The hotel was nice and the staff were great! Our only complaint was that we booked a King bed room and were given a room with 2 queen beds. The host said he couldn’t change it because the information sent over from Hotels.com was for 2 Queen beds. I showed him that my confirmation was clearly for a king bed but he couldn’t help us. Not the end of the world. He was super friendly and kind about it.
