Will not stay again. Room keys didn’t work. No pool towels.
Pros:

Comfortable beds

Cons:

Unable to get in room upon arrival. Room keys didn’t work (tried two sets) and hotel master key didn’t work. Had to wait one hour to get into room. No other rooms available for us. Asked for a discount. Originally said “of course”. Then was told no discount because we booked thru booking.com and not the hotel. No pool towels. Things that should have been provided we needed to do extra for. Unfortunate after a 13 hour day of travel.
