This is a fantastic place, and I can hardly wait to return with friends and family. Everything and everyone exceded my expectations.

Rooms are very outdated, no AC in the rooms so it’s hard to sleep at night. The location is good but the price to stay here is not worth it since you can find somewhere else close by that is much more updated and way better service

Love the location, price, and the friendly, helpful staff. The pool and spa were great. The room was very comfortable. The only downside was that the floors in the room could have used a good mopping. Other than that, I would definitely stay again and would recommend it to friends. Thanks for a great experience!

Check in was terrible. There was no desk attendant and there was only a phone number to talk to an employee. It took over an hour fpr someone to show up. The rooms were satisfactory but the balcony was dirty. The location is amazing. This hotel is a great find for budget conscious.

There was no air conditioning and windows with no screens or didn't open. The property is not being kept up. Hot tub with broken tiles, pool was dirty There was no one at the front desk for an entire day, so when guests needed pool towels or to check out or any assistance there was no one to ask. The toiletries provided were very poor quality.
