This is a hotel and spa. We were unable to secure spa reservations. Any hotel that cannot provide their guests with services offered should rethink their business model. Rooms were not quiet. Unable to nap during the day as furniture was being dragged across the floor next door. Poor sleeping. The room comes with flashing green ceiling lights. We ended up putting a butterfly bandage over the light just to be able to sleep at night. We would never stay here again.
