The room was clean. Staff was friendly and efficient. Would stay there again. The Silk Road restaurant was a good option - the food was good and the service was quite good as well.
Our stay was very wonderful! Front desk was nice upon greeting and checking in and out we had zero issues, and we basically had the pool and hot tub all to ourselves which was really nice as well, the room was nice and clean the bed however is very firm but still comfy but definitely would stay again!!
Staff was amazing! Clean room and extra accommodations

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was great - very friendly and accommodating. First floor is being completely renovated so there is no restaurant and lobby area. During the day, there is construction noise although they inform you about this upon arrival.
