Did not like that they charge $30 to check in early. Understand that it is each hotels policy, but the hotel was not busy. Rooms were mildewy and AC did not stay cool. They do not have pens in the rooms anymore.duringbbreakfast time the door to breakfast from pool area was locked making it inconvenient to walk all the way around the building from our room to get inside for breakfast.

I wasn’t expecting much given the price, but this hotel turned out to be a real gem. It’s simple but clean and well-kept, with attractive planting around the pool that gives it a surprisingly nice atmosphere. The staff were genuinely helpful—particularly Isabella and Juanita, who went out of their way to assist me during my stay. For the price, it’s excellent value and I’d happily stay again.

Unusually rude staff that is serving breakfast. Went there around 9:00 for breakfast that lasts until 10:00. They were out of all main items that make breakfast: out of eggs and sausage, out of waffle dough and out of milk for cereal. Well when I found the person who is in charge of the area she clearly was annoyed about the ask is she could refill the items. It is not what she said but how she said it, the tone and facial expression. Room was “OK” but the whole area smells like Raid insect spray.
