The swimming pool was wonderful, and the breakfast was excellent in the morning. The gentleman working at check-in was great. The lady working in the morning of our checkout on Monday 29, 2025 had no name tag and did not seem like she wanted to be at work. She probably should have stayed home for the day. She seemed bothered that I approached the front desk to tell her we were checking out. Service with a smile is not her specialty and she was short and very unfriendly.
