"In a word: Disappointing. We brought good friends there to reward them for the hard work they do and thank them for their friendship. Neither we nor they experienced the level of class we were expecting, A couple days we had cold water, that is when we had water at all. We were there 4 nights and 5 days and asked each day for a second robe for our room. Never got it. Our friends didn't even get a single robe. We never received a full set of towels in spite of asking and asking. And don't even...
