Great value considering location

Great location, enjoyed the big rooms, loves that windows all opened to enjoy the breeze, full kitchen was super nice for longer stay. Beds could use updating to newer more comfortable mattresses, and bathroom amenities were lacking, but otherwise a great value and comfortable stay!

Very clean and no bugs in room. Hot shower every day with very good water pressure. No AC in room but was okay with the overhead fans and oscillating fans. All of the staff were friendly. Plenty of parking for the guests. Our dishes were done by the cleaning staff every day. We had to buy some cooking utensils as the room didn’t have a spatula or cutting knives. Would definitely go back.

Property was a little tired looking, but very clean. Staff nice and polite. Towels changed daily, nice fluffy towels and lots of them. Both bathroom and kitchen could do with an update. Area around pool uneven and only steps to property, struggled getting cases into and out of the room and into the reception area.
