Enjoyed our stay!
Clean, easy checkin, comfortable beds, nice view, good service. Used to be breakfast included but new owners, now Fork Seasons restaurant. Breakfast very reasonable and good menu, but service slow. The pool is beautiful!

Hotel was clean and comfortable. Pool was amazing!! One thing to note the restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays which means there is no complimentary breakfast. This would've been good to know at time of booking. Overall though we'd stay again if we're back in the area

While the pool is an attractive feature, the rooms could use updating. The hotel restaurant had the worst Japanese food ever!

Great place to stay, especially with kids. The pool was the highlight of the stay.

Disappointed with this particular visit. Others ha
We stay here often but this time wasn’t good. We got a room (123) with a constant banging sound coming from within the wall it was all day and all night long. The corners in this room has never cleaned and the toilet paper holder was hanging off the wall.
