The property is clean with a very large area to sit and enjoy the sun. Beds were extremely comfortable. Check-in was quick and easy with friendly staff that actually take the time to speak with you. I wasn't a fan of the shower. Older shower heads

Nice place to stay if you are looking for a spot close to airport. Breakfast at 630 so if you have an early flight it won’t be available. No hot food at breakfast. No shuttle service. Would stay again if an overnight stay is required for connecting flight

We chose this place because the reviews said it was clean even very clean but we couldn’t even cover ourselves properly. The sheets looked dirty, and we didn’t feel comfortable. In short, the beds really affected my rating
