Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room had great lighting and a ceiling fan. It had a nice vanity, shampoo, lotion, a bidet on the toilet (not for me), hair dryer, gorgeous landscaping outdoors including many fruit trees (oranges, persimmons, guavas, etc) which you can pick. Had a microwave, fridge, great parking, table, chairs, and amazing a sprinkler system for a fire inside the room. The negatives are several trains during the night nearby but I believe they don't use horns during sleeping hours. There was no CO2 detector and the biggest surprise no cable or satellite TV. The only stations were the dozens of local ones I assume with an antenna system. Still, I don't take trips to watch much TV so I'll stick with my 5* rating. It also has carpeting on the floor which is unusual these days.

Little rough but it worked

They were helpful in the booking process but it kind of ended there. Great location w the below ground gardens across the street. After I checked in I couldn’t get to my room. Waited half hour for someone to open the gate to parking lot. Never showed. I opened it myself. Manual gate. Shower head sprayed everywhere but in tub. Hilarious sink worked the same way.

It's actually a decent place for two star hotel it was pretty clean-ish but the door doesn't lock there's no Wi-Fi at all no signal. Desk clerk try to make up some BS excuse but they obviously know that there's no internet coming out to these further rooms and they just haven't fixed it so yeah I'd rate it do not book a hotel room here go anywhere else

This was a place I used to like to stay even if the rooms were super old and outdated. Management staff has change, Jackson is no longer there but the front desk service is still polite & friendly Breakfast has gone downhill, frozen boiled eggs everyday. REASON why I would never come back to this hotel is the worker ISABEL(cleaner), daily negative talk abt her salary & her workers & how much she hates working there. Also she constantly ask for a tip & provide us with envelope when she doesn’t even clean our rooms. I shared with manager that the stay was making me very uncomfortable because of Isabel constant pressure & negative feed about Formosa Inn. He also received feedback from others that same week & advised us he was aware of it, that she’s new, a family of the other cleaner, & would address it. For a small hotel that had wonderful front office service, 1 employee changed all the ambiance & made the stay super stressful. So unfortunate.!

Stayed here many times before. Hotel services has gone downhill since change of management staff. They have a new cleaning crew name Isabel she would constantly come to room complaining about her salary there and kept asking for tip, making stay very unpleasant. Daily pressure of her discussions about salary & talking bad about the hotel made it extremely uncomfortable for me to continue staying there any longer. Other guests shared the same & so I shared it with the manager Henry on day of check out.

Although I didn't like the area, I felt safe there, and I seem to remember them having a security guard. Also, you have to drive through an entry to access the property, which means less exposure to outside elements. The property was very clean. The room was spacious. The toilet had a bidet on top. Nice pool. I would return. It's a good option for low budget and passing through on travels.
