Front office staff was very helpful in assisting with a request. The property grounds are green and well manicured. There is a balcony or patio (ground floor) for units. I did not use pool although it is in the courtyard. The area is convenient and relatively quiet but with many restaurants close by.

This is a hard review. My room was old and disgusting. A friends' room, newly remodeled was lovely. All the staff were amazing. The grounds around the pool had a lot of broken items (heaters, tiki torch, chest pieces) and my bathroom was almost not usable, old, mold looking bath tub and floor. The room smelt like a nursing home. Friends room was remodeled and very nice. Both rooms cost over $350 for the night.

Our weekend stay at the Lemon Tree

Unfortunately when we arrived, I stumbled upon a pair of ladies panty’s on top of a shelf so I threw it in the trash and notified the front desk and the employee at the desk said no housekeeping was available so they would pick up the trash on Saturday. After fully unpacking, I found that the tv wouldn’t turn on so I called the front desk again and she sent a maintenance worker to fix the issue. (Outlet was shorted out) Location was great and the room was very comfortable.
