Really good stay

I safe area . The staff was very friendly and helpful (they really were really nice too assist). I also appreciated the location, as it's close to shopping, bars, and restaurants. Breakfast was delicious. The beds were comfortable.
The bedroom looked a bit tired, and I noticed paint flaking off the window frame. I also spotted broken curtain rods. The bar area could use brighter lighting, as it felt a little gloomy for my liking.

I wish I could have used the pool outside the spa's operating hours! Breakfast service was quite slow. The front desk staff should have known better than to override the billing information.
