Average
Pros:

Breakfast was very underwhelming. No mushrooms available as always. Warm breakfast selection is very limited.

Cons:

Room had a bad smell when I walked it. My child found a container of Vicks under our bed to show that the cleaning was rushed. I did not appreciate the one roll of toilet paper as I was traveling with kids. We’ve always had one extra roll in the room. The issue of no water was completely unacceptable after paying so much money at the facility and the fact that we were given one bowl of water for the four of us was bazar

Beautiful
Pros:

The location and the views were spectacular. The cleanliness and breakfast were beyond expectations. It was a nice, quiet stay, which I really enjoyed, and I would repeat it again.

Cons:

I did not like the bathtub with a shower head on top, and also, the channels on the TV are outdated and old. It's a good thing I was there for the quitness otherwise my kids would have been frustrated.
