Nice location but could use some updates. The room was clean, bed was comfortable but there was some stains on the floor and furniture was very worn. Also was unable to close the curtain to the window. There was only a sheer covering so when the sun came up, it shined right on us.

Booked in part because of the pool. It didn't mention in the property description that it was an outdoor pool, and not open on March 2nd. Signed up and paid for the complimentary breakfast for both mornings of our stay. They failed to mention that the kitchen isn't open for business on Mondays. My ratings are on the generous side
