Although the property was a little dated, (it reminded me of an "old" Florida motel, which I found delightful) the room was clean with a wonderful soaking tub and very clean pools. The manager was attentive and personable. The place and location was quiet and restful. All in all, a very nice stay.

Perfect for 3, bathroom and kitchen need updating ( crack in sink, old flooring). Pool and hot tub were clean and an AMAZING temperature. No clean sponge provided for washing dishes, and a bowl was found in the cupboard completely soiled. Overall though, I would stay there again.

Decent place, nice pool.

Check-in was easy and the room was clean. The kitchen could use updating and the quality of the complementary coffee is poor. I know that sounds whiny, but there’s better coffee around than that. The walls are thin and we could hear the guests next door. The pool is very nice. All in all, a decent stay for a lower price point than other places closer to town.

Alla

Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel is clean, and I really wanted to have a great experience. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. We paid for a room with a jet bathtub, but the jets were not working. After checkout, I asked if we could briefly use the pool. Hotels nearby usually allow this, especially when the pool is empty. The man at the reception did not allow it and said, “It’s your checkout time, so you leave.” When I asked why and mentioned that other hotels do this, he responded, “Why do I care?” His behavior was rude, intense, and unprofessional. Extremely disappointed by the service and attitude, especially after a good start to the stay.
