clean nice room. Excellent pool. We liked the car port ... other than the surface was sandy. Easy to walk to a couple of dinner options ... but don't wait too late as things close early.

BETTER than expected

Beds were clean and comfy but kinda short. Great water pressure. Awesome pool, deeper than I expected. Only downside was AC only in one room. Connected room had fan. With door open it was fine, but not if you wanted privacy and cool temperature

I love the upgrades it’s very cute and having two rooms was nice but there were some little things that brought down its score like a screen missing on the bathroom window, anyone could reach in. I didn’t like the old sponge left on the kitchen counter. Maybe they should leave a clean dish rag and towel, I used a washcloth and hand towel. The pool is not heated but is beautiful. The beds were small but clean and comfortable.

Enjoyed our stay. Had to get use to avoiding contact with noisy metal bed base. The toilet seat in room 125 is oval on a round toilet rim. Not good for men when seated.
