The pool/courtyard area was very nice complete with a kids playground and dog park. The front desk lady was super nice and very informative. Liked that they had access to selling tickets to various attractions right at their front desk. Breakfast was very good.

The clean pool and jacuzzi made the stay worth it. Sheets don’t fit the beds and they were stingy with giving extra towels. Tv and rooms needed updating bad. Alright for a short stay only!

The bed was very comfortable. This is just an old hotel but very clean. Nothing fancy, just a place to sleep while traveling.

We had our pups with us and they put us right next to the dog park. Was perfect. Only negative our TV had two lines out in the center, one red one blue but we weren’t in the room enough to complain. It’s near a cute coffee shop, tropical smoothie, a Mexican restaurant and gas station all within walking distance without having to cross the road. It is an older property so nothing fancy dancy but comfortable, convenient, and affordable.
