dusty surfaces early morning noise
The location had a nice view of the golf course. It was acceptable for a short visit.
The room was quite dusty. Surfaces below eye level had a thick layer. I discovered no hot water in the morning. Rooms sit directly under the restaurant. I heard chairs scraping and other noises very early.

I appreciated the nice staff . The check-in process was easy. The room faced the golf course and the view was excellent. I found the room was clean and tidy.
The shower tap was stiff. It made it difficult to adjust the water temperature.
