Disappointed
Really disappointed in our stay recently. The photos of the property looked beautiful and we were let down from the beginning. Upon entry to the room we found a cockroach on the ground and the looking around the room we found a massive white tip spider and other spider nests. Curtains and shutters were moldy and unclean. We were offered another room (16) and were swarmed by bugs lingering around outside of room. We chose to keep current room (10) and asked if they could removed spider, which they did. The staff were very nice and understanding. After settling in we started to notice more things that were very unclean but our biggest complaint was the carpet, I think it is 2 years past due for a deep clean. We went out to dinner at the restaurant onsite. Beef Nachos were amazing Tacos were small and disappointing Scotch fillet steak medium rare was chewy and difficult to cut. Applied pie dessert was tasty. Walking back to the room proved very difficult with no actual lights lighting up. We had to resort to our phone lights trying not to trip. Overall very disappointed with the quality and cleanliness of the room. Especially being this is a 4 star hotel and costs over $350 a night.
