Staff didn’t tell us about restaurant being closed and didn’t know where we could go for food. The room was 81 degrees when we went to bed and finally cooled off by morning in spite of us turning it on at 5:00pm. We didn’t avail ourselves of the jacuzzi or pool, but it looked nice. The landscaping was also nice.
