Friendly check in, comfortable family sized room, all the necessary amenities, etc. Location is within walking distance to downtown. Would return again. Breakfast was underwhelming but again, for the cost, it was adequate As long as you aren’t expecting a big name brand level of room, it will suit your needs. Biggest “issue” was lack of WiFi reception in our room, but our room was on the far end of the complex so it is what it is.

Basic budget hotel

The hotel is basic budget hotel. Recently renovated but the workmanship was shoddy...i.e. paint drips on the floor, single coat not hiding the color underneath, peeling walls, etc. The hot breakfast consisted of waffle or oatmeal. Single ply toilet paper and tissue. The bed was comfortable and staff friendly.

We stayed two nights on a vacation trip. Overall a good deal. The premises a bit rundown but the room was excellent, clean. The salt water outdoor pool was small but nice, the breakfast mediocre even for a continental one.
