All good except !!
All good but instructions should be furnished for TV operations.
Was not familiar with the service provider and very unclear how to select channels.
All i wanted was a news channel.

Would not recommend
We stayed one night the reason we booked this hotel is because it had a pool when we tried to use it the filters were not working and it seemed like it was not cleaned in a very long time if the pool was out of service then you should have put a notice on your website before booking or at the very least a sign on the pool door so no one would use it as I did see people in the pool the room was very small for two bed and the washroom you can barely move and I asked for extra towels which I never received and the bed sheets were dirty

One of the reasons we chose this hotel was the complimentary breakfast that was advertised, but Hotels.com concealed the fact that their booking did not include the breakfast.

No free breakfast. SMALL bathroom. The property was otherwise pristine, the staff were lovely. I hope they are being paid well above average, because the price was way too high for just a bed and a shower for a night.

It was a very nice and comfortable stay.
I was hoping to use the pool in the morning, but the area around the pool was not cleaned. Coffee cups lying around, somebody's clothes were laid out. There were no towels. The filter for the pool did not seem to be on. Sadly, I decided not to go into the water.
