The lady at the front desk was very helpfully All the rooms were very clean the food and the buffet was very nice. I do like the decor of the hotel. However, the gym was a little on the dark side. Most of the lights on the ceiling were not working. The steam room was not working. also that was just the only few negative and disappointing.
