Clean little hotel to stay in for the night. Not fancy / just a great place to stay for the night. Beds were comfortable & clean. Front deck were friendly. Easy check in & out.
The hotel was clean and comfortable. The room had a refrigerator and a microwave, which was very convenient. I also appreciated that there was an ashtray on the balcony. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and I would recommend this hotel.
Had a bit of a hiccups with the rooms first assigned not being ready, but the front desk was very quick to switch the rooms. Housekeeping was absolutely amazing and helped us with every question we had. Located close to shopping and eateries.
The shower head was loose and leaking along with no water pressure. We stayed four nights and they only serviced our room once. We had to ask for towels and toilet paper at the office. The staff were friendly though. When we entered the room the first time it smelled of bleach so we knew they had cleaned. For the price it was okay.
Other than the beds, and the elevator needing to be replaced, my stay was nice! The staff were very kind and accommodating and other people around me were respectful and kept the noise down which is huge for me. The room was clean and I liked how they have an actual blanket instead of some sheet they like to call a blanket.
As for the elevator, it was obvious that it was old, it kept stopping on the second floor regardless if anyone was getting on or off it, and there was a door you had to open to get on it which I found weird.
Grounds are worn but maintained. Pool area was clean and central.

The room was relatively clean. Parking was motel-like, but convenient right outside the room. Issues: door wouldn't close properly because the frame was off-kilter. We had to either pull quickly or slam hard to close the door, depending on whether you were outside or inside. The second night, there were people right outside our door being loud and obnoxious while we had an early flight the next day. The air conditioner was missing a louvre strip, which cause a loud hurricane noise when it would run and it would be uncomfortably warm when it didn't run. I would look for another place next time. Redeeming factor: it was about the cheapest place in the area.
Parking is good , the man that attended me was very kind . Room was clean but the bathroom ceiling does need some work. Looked like there was mold in the ceiling shower.
