Enjoyed the stay and especially the location. Would like to have a ramp at front entry for suitcases as well as from rear elevator to front desk. Did not know about the side ramp until our departure from hotel. It was behind the front desk hidden by a door. Would also like grab bars in shower.

4/10

We booked a standard king and the bed was definitely a full or queen. I went down to question the room and was told that is a “British king”. Which I had never heard of. Room was small. I also had the correct adapter for my hair dryer and when I plugged it in, it popped and blew my $200 hair dryer.

Of course the rooms are small! And the Taxi service they use drove off with some my luggage! And the guy didn't bring it back to the Airport right away! He waited till he had another fare then came! I almost missed my flight!The pool is nice though!
