average experience. nothing special.

overwhelmed staff disappointing food

the location was nice. lots of greenery surrounded the hotel.

the staff seemed overwhelmed. it was difficult to get anyone's attention at the bar. also, the food quality did not match the price. i was expecting better flavor and presentation for the cost.
