Unfortunately, the bed looked like linens had not been changed. There was hair on the sheet... went to the front desk to get new sheets. Got a new sheet for both beds, but I had to ask twice.

We had a good night's sleep. The room was large, and the bathroom was clean. The pillows and mattress were very good, and we really had restful sleep.
Breakfast was simple, but had good coffee and a cappuccino machine!

Hotels.com CHARGED MY CARD but DID NOT RESERVE a room. So I HAD TO PAY TWICE. Therefore, I expect a FULL REFUND.

This hotel could be awsome, decent size rooms, great balconies on the rooms and what could be beautiful grounds, including a court yard pool, hot tub, and glass elevator. Unfortunately just run down and not well taken care of. A little maintainence would go a long way.
