Really nice, no pool
"Really nice rooms, good location, great breakfast with omelet station. One thing rhat I missed when booking is that there was no pool! I was shocked after check-in as wanted to chill by a pool but none. Ended up doing a spa day at another hotel and spent afternoon at their pool."
