Great location but average room.

Somwhat chaotic checkin but with a phone call all was settled. Room was ok though a bit small. The kitchenette was crammed in one corner. Lack of A/C was an issue with sun beaming in the north faci g window. The ceiling fan wasnt up to the task. Bathroom was very clean and the bed was comfy and had excellent sheets and pillows. Nice grounds and pool. Quiet area.

Communication with staff was difficult because we weren’t capable of phoning them when checking in. We waited for quite a length of time to get our key and get checked in. The owners did eventually show up and they were very accommodating. If we had the ability to call them with an international phone we probably would have been okay. We were able to try and communicate with the owners via web conversations but we had to response that way.

The staff were great with an easy check in. Lovely and clean, much better than most places I've stayed in. The unit was a bit dated and the bed was uncomfortable. The big down side I had, had nothing to do with the motel but rather the booking site. If I had gone direct I would have saved a considerable amount.
