Saturday and Sunday Stay

Stay was ok. Website indicated restaurant on site but falled to note opening hours (8am on Sunday, 11 am Monday - did not check other days). My mistake for not making sure room had microwave. Room was quiet, bed was comfortable. FYI no usb charging available.

The room was comfortable and the location was perfect relative to my work and friends that I was visiting. The golf course deck was great for taking in the sunset and the Friday evening music was awesome!

The pool was closed down 2 of the 3 days we were staying there. Breakfast was not served even though the email received for check in states breakfast. The floor of the kitchen in our room was sticky and there was no soap to wash the dishes. The cable box wasn't working and needed to be reset twice during our short stay. Asked for a final receipt to be emailed and still have not received.
