Hotel, staff and amenities all very good. The shower floor needs a good scrub with something like sift scrub to minimize the 'dirt' stains. Bathroom was clean. We were put off at arrival and unpacking our car that there was a homeless women sitting at the entrance and immediately asking to speak to me and requesting funds. Another individual started talking to me and I walked away. We support the homeless condition as volunteers, grate patrol, donation of food,feeding the homeless but prefer not to be approached when on vacation at the hotel at which we are paying to stay. Though not us but this could make customers feel uneasy about staying at the venue.
