Our room was spacious, well stocked and having an ice maker in the refrigerator was a bonus. The separate seating area was great as well as having a tv there, as well as one in the bedroom.

Ok so when I checked in I was not informed at all that I would be paying $10 a day to park my car at the hotel that I’ve paid for and was staying at for 3 nights until I checked out of my room. My room smelled so bad like stale cigarette smoke to the point I had to buy air freshener the night I arrived and it also gave me a headache. The building that I stayed in building 8 was extremely dirty around the outside and the elevator area was really bad….. I was there alone and definitely didn’t feel safe but good thing I have protection. I have requested a refund of my $30 but it has been crickets from the property.

Excellent Stay for Families! We stayed for 7 days and 6 nights, and overall had a wonderful experience. We originally booked one room, but upon arrival, we decided to upgrade to two rooms so our family could stay more comfortably. The rooms were cozy, and the kitchen, although small, had everything we needed to prepare our own meals. The staff was very friendly and helpful at all times, but I want to highlight the exceptional service we received from Joselyn, who assisted us from check-in to check-out. She always greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel truly welcome. Breakfast was included, and although the dining area is small, it flows very well and never felt crowded. I highly recommend this hotel for families looking for a quiet and comfortable place to stay.

Everything here is always great. This time I was given a special needs room, which is perfect for those in need, but I didn’t like the layout of the rooms or the bathroom. But no big deal, I don’t want to sound petty. Perhaps there were no other rooms available.😊

The hotel was basic and very weathered. Mold in the bathroom around the shower and sink. Carpets worn and generally felt outdated. We actually checked out a day early due to no internet. Unfortunately, when working remotely, we really needed to stay connected. We were located in the #6 building, corner top floor, queen suite room. Breakfast was included and not bad, grounds and gardens were well kept. Pool area does not look like the photos. Breakfast staff friendly, front desk staff cordial, great location.
