We've stayed here a few times. I love watching the swallows and honestly their pool tops the ones at the cavalier/the sands. hot tubs nice but could be cleaned more often. All and all the place is really nice, clean and comfortable.

A fairly basic room, but comfortable and well thought out. We had a corner room in the rear of the property, which was near one of the utility rooms and was therefore a little noisy early in the evening.

Not recommended

Beds were comfy but room wasn’t clean. Parking is a huge problem and your car will be damaged if you enter from the back (steep entry). They can’t accommodate late check ins easily and it’s a sketchier area than you’d think (lots of people roaming at night).

Our room was dirty and we were close to the stairs and that was very noisy. When we complained the person at the front desk basically dismissed us. The grounds are not attractive at all and it looks like old apartments. We won’t stay there again.

Booked this hotel for the hot tub. We got a room with a pull out bed. This bed was the most disgusting bed I’ve ever seen in my life and it had no sheets or bedding on it. The stains were repulsive.

Stay somewhere else.

Some of the staff were incredibly rude and even threatened me, because I asked why my room had not been cleaned. the floors were filthy and had sand everywhere. The windowsills and the baseboards were disgusting. The upstairs outside hallway had children running and screaming constantly. It sounded like the building was collapsing. The beds are hard and worn out.
