Hotel is in a nice location, and close to airport

The hotel is in a nice location; sits on pretty lawns. We stayed there one night only, which made it easier for me to handle some of the challenges. We were there in the summer, and the staff were nice and friendly. -Checkin was difficult; we had a hard time finding the place and getting through the intercom. I would recommend calling and reminding them beforehad so they know to expect you -Cleanliness: acceptable but needs to be improved. We had a incident with a dead bug smashed on the fridge door. We removed it, but others might have been more disturbed. The beds and the linen and towels were clean and neatly folded. -Fans: Only one small fan for a room with four beds in it. And it's difficult to open the windows because the bugs would come in. -They don't provide any water bottles. Complimentary teas and coffee were available. -The lotions and shampoos in our rooms were practically finished. -The bathroom door did not lock properly. Overall, I don't regret going, however, if I had stayed more than one night I would have probably complained.

It was a nice place, though there was issues with bookings, not updated on the hotels side. I didn't spend the whole day, but the owners were friendly. I wasn't given a tour of the property
