The rooms were nice. Pool was clear and clean. Gym works fine. Lobby and entry really nice. My one and only complaint is the breakfast. Management should be embarrassed that they are charging people $21 for a breakfast that you get at a budget hotel for free. Not even worth half the price. Would be 5 stars except that issue.

The property was great. Only issue is I got charged twice for the deposit and I’m still waiting for my deposit. It’s $50 a day. I stood there for two days and I got charged 200 which is double otherwise I have no other issues great place.

We stayed here last weekend and the hotel is very nice. On the picture on the website it shows that there are lounge chairs and tables with umbrella, which is truly not accurate. The water feature on the pool was not on which took away from the ambience. The pool is very nice. It just needs to have someone out there to turn on the equipment and ensure it is running and working properly. Aside from all that I would definitely stay here again. I just hope they fix these items to make my stay a little more pleasant and comfortable, especially with the lounge chairs.

The room was extremely comfortable. My only dislike was in the pictures of the hotel. The swimming pool had a waterfall and Jacuzzi the waterfall did not work nor did the Jacuzzi other than that. It was a beautiful property. The staff was great thank you Maria.

The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and the cleanliness for the room was decent. However, the overall condition of the property and surrounding area left a lot to be desired. The facilities seemed outdated, and the area felt a bit unsafe and inconvenient. I also noticed limited dining options and noisy surroundings due to construction in the area. With a few upgrades and better maintenance, this hotel could be much more enjoyable.
