Very disappointed and will not...
Liked: The bed was a king size and comfortable.
Disliked: On arrival we waited at reception for 15mins for attention even with ringing a bell (never heard it ring so I suppose it was working). We were not offered milk on arrival and none in the frig. I have never been to a motel yet that has not offered milk of some form. No instructions on how to operate the TV after trying it for sometime it was not giving us a signal and asked if they could attend to it while we were out. Expecting it to be up and running on our return but no so asked again and the gentleman came and showed us how the TV worked. Had there been instructions this could have been avoided. The toilet leaked water onto the floor when you used at full flush in the bathroom. The shower just didn't produce water and the shower door wouldn't slide freely either. We did have a mineral pool but we choose not to use it as not able to use soap etc in it and at that time of the day we didn't discover this malfunction until the morning of us leaving and as the office was not open at 8am was unable to report it and still was not open when we left at 8.30am and check out was 9am.

Very good
Liked: Only disappointing part was getting into the shower, getting into the shower was way high and dangerous if your short.
