I had to change rooms, first room was not clean (not a nice welcome). I chose to be poolside and unfortunately, the windows were not sound proof. I felt that I had the doors open the whole time. If you are looking for quiet, choose far away from the pool. The hotel is on a busy road and there are lots of restaurants, but it makes the stay a bit noisy. The common areas could be cleaner.

Loved the stay! The room was very nice and quiet and the grounds were very nice. The room was very clean. The lady at the front desk wasnt the most helpful, acting like we were an inconvenience to her when we were checking in. The next morning the lady making the omelets was a bit rude and snarky to several people. I'd stay again though.

I was pleased with everything about the hotel, except that there were tiny sugar ants on the bedside tables. I believe they come in through the electrical outlets. Other than that, it was very clean and seemed recently updated.

The staff and location of this property are excellent. I wouldn’t stay there again because the TV reception was horrible. I had to stay in the room for several hours due to illness and the tv buffers every ten seconds and the buffering lasts 40 to 50 seconds each time. It was awful and I was a captive audience. I should have taken a book with me.
