The place is a little bit out there and if you are not driving it’s very hard to get around. You have to rely on $10 each way cab rides to everything. Room is huge the pool isbt heated. Bathroom was very nice. It’s a quaint hideaway kinda place not for someone like me who wants to be part of the lively action and near the shopping and restaurants etc. breakfast was modest for $10 but the lady is very nice who owns the place. She does have pets.
