Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Check in was easy and quick. No elevator so had to carry our bags to the second floor. No pictures on the walls. Very very basic room. No hook or rack for bath towels or face towel. One lamp had no light bulb. Bed was soft and sheets were wrinkled up but looked clean. TV didn’t work but maybe it was because of the storm. Pool are liked clean but water was green. Pool was closed. Glad we only stayed one night.

The pool is amazing and the area is quiet. However, lots of smoking and the smell gets in the front door and through the walls. Lots of construction which will leave the whole place nice in the future.
