Very clean room and exceptional staff (everyone spoke English which was extremely helpful to this non-Spanish speaking person). Really enjoyed the seating area on the balcony outside my room. The restaurant was very nice with a variety of options that were reasonably priced. The sparkling pool was clean and refreshing. The area was a little loud due to a truck repair shop next door, but overall I was extremely pleased with my stay and look forward to my next visit! Kim Kline

Positives: (1) convenient central location and (2) excellent staff & service. Negatives: (1) we reserved & paid for a superior room with 2 double beds but reception said they didnā€™t have any available at check in and put us in a standard room with 1 double bed. (2) hot water in shower runs out very quickly. (3) internet in room is very weak & unreliable.
