Sadly, this property is in dire need of maintenance. The shower was impossible to turn on. I had to use a washcloth to get enough leverage to be able to turn the faucet. There was a carpet nail sticking up along the edge of the bathroom, which I stepped on twice and cut my foot. The light next to the bed is missing the switch, so I couldn’t turn it on. One of the bath towels had an entire corner ripped out of it. It was shredded. It’s too bad because the room was clean and comfortable, other than the nail jabbing me in the foot and the garden walkways are lovely.

Horrible hotel! You won't see any fruit - very poor breakfast, only coffee and not even water! The rooms are dirty, the bed linen is old, pilled, stained, made of synthetics, which is unpleasant to sleep under.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and comfortable and had a very home bedroom feel to it. Only a couple of minor things the tv was old and didn’t have many options. Also, the breakfast Buffett ran out of many options quickly and wasn’t replenished. So get to breakfast early. Would recommend this hotel overall.

It's a convenient location, but the rooms are not the cleanest, nor up to date. It's a basic hotel, even if you upgrade and purchase the suites. I checked in one hour after check-in time and the front office could not figure out if a suite was available, because none of their housekeeping staff was answering.

Stayed here about 10 years ago and it was beautiful with many fruit trees and flowers. It has new owners and they have let it run down. Still a good value even though they are not paying attention to the details like the previous owners.
