Good location but overpriced for...

Liked: The location, breakfast and pool were all very nice.
Disliked: We did not get anything we requested. No extra pillows were delivered despite asking for them, our air conditioner was freezing despite adjusting the temperature and we didn’t have housekeeping come once despite leaving our room by 1pm each day and not returning until after 10pm.

Very good

Liked: Everything was very clean and the location was great!
Disliked: We used the pull out sofa and there was not a blanket on the room for that bed. The room was tight with the sofa open. We had to move a bench to be able to get to the other side.
