Pros:

It was very up to date.It was very clean. We had a downstairs room. ( My husband and I are elderly) I liked how the rooms were situated around the pool. Good breakfast.The lobby and breakfast room were close to our room.

Cons:

The ice machine nearest our room was not working. My husband walked to the lobby and was directed to another ice machine. We had to walk around to find another one.

Pros:

La stanza era pulita e spaziosa

Cons:

Mesi prima del nostro arrivo, Booking.com mi aveva inviato un'e-mail che confermava la cancellazione di una delle stanze prenotate.
Dopo ore di viaggio, siamo arrivati in hotel stanchi e convinti che fosse tutto in ordine. Invece, la receptionist, con un atteggiamento estremamente scortese, ci ha detto che l'hotel non aveva ricevuto alcuna comunicazione da Booking e che avrei dovuto pagare anche la stanza cancellata mesi prima.
Ho mostrato la documentazione e ho cercato di spiegare che non era giusto far ricadere su di me un eventuale problema di comunicazione tra Booking.com e la struttura. Ho semplicemente chiesto un po' di comprensione e la disponibilità a trovare una soluzione.
La risposta è stata incredibile: la receptionist, infastidita, ha chiamato il manager e mi è stato detto che, se non avessi pagato immediatamente, saremmo stati cacciati dall'hotel.
Una situazione assurda e umiliante, soprattutto dopo un lungo viaggio. Mi sarei aspettato un atteggiamento orientato al dialogo e alla ricerca di una soluzione, non minacce nei confronti di un cliente che aveva semplicemente presentato una conferma di cancellazione ricevuta mesi prima.
Per evitare di rimanere senza una sistemazione, sono stato costretto a pagare anche la stanza aggiuntiva. Ora sto attendendo che Booking.com valuti la mia richiesta di rimborso.
A prescindere dall'esito del rimborso, il comportamento del personale è stato totalmente inaccettabile. L'accoglienza e la gestione del problema hanno rovinato la nostra esperienza. Non tornerei in questa struttura e non mi sento di consigliarla.

Modern, clean facility with a great breakfast and beautiful pool.
Pros:

Modern, clean, free breakfast

Cons:

Noisy refrigerator. TV was difficult to know what cost extra. Getting free WiFi by enrolling in Hilton Honors was confusing as to any monetary cost.
