Disliked: Amenities
I stayed here because I had an early flight out. For one night it was fine but I don’t think I would stay longer. Very nice staff and the rooms were clean. But it is obviously an older facility and didn’t really have many amenities. The tiki bar provided entertainment so that was nice. I walked to Rico”s for dinner which was very good. The pool seemed dirty and unused. If you need to stay in this area I think it probably one of the nicer spots
