While the hotel is dated and small, it is a quiet, little place. I would score it higher, but the lighting in the bathroom was pretty poor for putting on makeup and such. The mattress definitely showed major wear making it difficult to sleep without being pulled the middle of the bed by both sides. Other than this, I would recommend this hotel. There are less than fifty rooms, all of which circle the pool which looked very nice and inviting-quiet and tranquil. The staff were super nice and accommodating. There is a restaurant onsite and seemed to be quite popular without being a “party scene”.
