Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property and surrounding areas are nice. The rooms are the reason for the poor review. Bed and pillows were very uncomfortable. When we took showers the hot water heater keep making loud noises like if the pipes were going to burst. The Kleenex they provided was the cheapest kind they could buy because they were paper thin. Towels were actually ok but could be softer. Room was clean.
