Pros:

I love that there were grits on the breakfast menu. I wish breakfast were a bit later on weekdays. I also would have appreciated pool towels. The staff was friendly, and I enjoyed my stay.

The coffee was a little light.

Voleurs et menteurs
Cons:

L'hôtel nous a pris 280$ de frais supplémentaires après notre départ. Leur explication : Je me serais teint les cheveux en rouge et j'aurais taché la baignoire , ce qui aurait nécessité un nettoyage supplémentaire. Ils refusent de nous communiquer les preuves. Ce sont des voleurs. Ils ne repondent pas a mes appels ni à mes mails. Je suis blonde et non je ne fais pas 8 000km pour me teindre les cheveux pendant les vacances. J'ai autre chose à faire !
Et le petit dej. est dégueulasse , la piscine était fermée et la moquette pue l'humidité.
N'y allez pas au risque qu'ils se servent sur votre CB
