Our room was very comfortable and accommodating due to the nature that we're disabled. And the front desk clerk was extremely friendly and he remembered us from a previous visit. We will definitely stay again.

Good location, fair price, clean rooms, rooms have everything but a microwave, beds and pillows aren't uncomfortable but not fluffy, check in takes a bit longer than usual, outside isn't as clean as in the rooms but the area feels safe and secure. Shower pressure is non existent. Would stay there again

Hands down if you’re just looking for a place without any of the over the top expectations because the vacation you’re looking for is somewhat filled with more simplicity than I would say this is the place for you. Had a very easy and simple check-in process. Simple no hassle card key to the room. And as wonderful, clean and plain property to enjoy on my vacation. I am most definitely recommending this place to anyone who is looking for convenience, and once again without anything extra…

The website made the room look very nice. However, in reality the room walls were dirty, Bergers on the wall, dead insects, dirt on the bathtub, pee on the bottom side of the toilet, blow dryer did not work, house keeping did not come. I will upload pictures on the actual hotel website to show my experience. I wouldn’t even give this hotel 1 star.
