The unit had a full litchen. The place was not fancy, but good enough. Breakfast was nice. Not the property's fault I know but some drunk woman kept banging on my outside door at 12:30 in the morning. (My door may have been located near the bus stop on a nerby highway.) As a single woman traveling alone, this place was not a good fit for me.

ur second visit to this location was a marked improvement over the first one. Shinaya was more professional and civil during our interaction on 9/1/25, however, when I arrived at 3pm and requested an early check-in, it was only after asking my name and realizing we'd met previously did she inform me early check-in was not available to us. I returned after 4pm. I was greeted warmly by Sadia she was professional, friendly and stated she was available should we require assistance or had any questions. The accommodations and facilities including the outdoor pool was clean and comfortable. The suite was spacious. We enjoyed preparing our meals and relaxing in the room.

I requested a change of blanket and bed sheet but unfortunately the staff couldn’t authorize it even though she accepted to do it but she did it afterwards. Hopefully this need to change. Also there was noise pollution on building two where in people were partying late hours but that was rectified when we called the front desk.

2 nights midweek with an outdoor pool (seasonal)

For the price, it exceeded our expectations. The pool was in great condition. Front desk staff was excellent. The coffee was good, but I'd go someplace else for breakfast. Nothing walkable, but a ton of options are very nearby.
