The room had a beautiful bathroom. The breakfast in the Roadhole Restaurant included amazing views over the golf course. Anita, the Restaurant Supervisor, was very friendly and helpful. She is an asset to the hotel.
The food quality at breakfast seemed cheap. Staff seemed disinterested in offering any service. Some orders were taken incorrectly .

I really enjoyed the spa. It was AMAZING!!! i highly recommend the hot stone massage. the spa cafe provided really delicious food. It was the best i've had at a spa. the bedroom was super clean and larger than i thought. It also had a great view of the course.
I stayed for one night and that was enough for me, to be honest. i was upgraded to a beautiful room overlooking the 18th hole. It was presented very well. however, the biggest issue was that it was two single beds pushed together as a double. It was not very comfortable.
