This was a great place to stay - room was clean… staff were friendly… premises well kept … the deck chairs are comfortable and towels on the rest… and despite being very shallow, the pool is very refreshing on a hot day.

The hotel needs upgrades. The couch in the room was dirty. The room could use a fresh coat of paint. The bathroom was outdated and the mirrors had rust around the edges. The fridge in the room was leaking and barely got cold. The positives were friendly staff and really good breakfast. The location is also a plus as it’s located near many things.

The hotel room was ok, but I think this property is overpriced for it's condition, and available amenities. There are other hotels in the area that are less expensive, with the same level of amenties. On a positive note, the breakfast was really good, with a large selection of food. There is no functioning refrigerator in the rooms. I called the reception, to report that my refrigerator was not working, and she said they are not intended to cool down anything, but are only there for a "refresh" (whatever that means). I have medication that needs to be refrigerated, so there is no way to do this at this hotel. She suggested I bring the medication to the front desk, and they could place it in a restaurant freezer instead! (a bizarre suggestion). For the price of this room, not having a functional refrigerator is way below industry standards.

Stayed there for 3 nights. Liked the location of the property. A lot of walking possible around. The front desk was very kind and helpful. Special shoutout to Liz who gave us great recommendations. Also the car rental was a good experience. The pool area is nice and so is the bar. Definitely not a 5 star property. 4 star also is being generous. Rooms, beds, pillows, housekeeping was all sub par. Breakfast buffet is huge but lacks quality. Even the servers at the breakfast were grumpy.
