The room overall was nice, and had a great view... more

Well, where to start?? We thought this was going to be a treat, turned into a trick. After arriving things started to go downhill. We weren't given a grand welcome or a drink. We never got taken directly to our room. We had dirty bed sheets, which did get that taken care of, but took some time to correct. Still... more
