Great front desk service, but the hotel itself seemed like it could use more cleaning and upkeep.

It was a great room for the most part. Clean rooms and bathroom, but there were a few spider webs and a bunch of dead bugs that could’ve been cleaned better off the walls and balcony. Staff was really nice. Great view.

I was having a great time but after my rings became discolored because of the hot tub it was awful. A staff member Ben treated me horribly. He said my rings are fake and that my dead mother must have lied to me. My hair also turned green which Ben said was because I dye my hair. I just got married on Saturday and my rings are messed up. I was very emotional and Ben said I had too much to drink. When in fact, I hadn't had anything to drink. I called my jeweler who's going to fix my rings and the jeweler said that yes the hot tub caused it. Please put up a sign warning people that the hot tub can damage their rings.
