I got a superior room, it had lots of space. The decor was nice and the bed was comfy! I asked for a shower and that is what I got, yay! Breakfast was really good too.
The spa was not great. The steam room and sauna wasn't working. The pool seemed too small for a hotel of this size. I also noticed that the pool wasn't clean, boo!
