The hotel is good, but it's a little worn down. The fridge in my room didn't work, and I had to call the front desk 4-5 times over 3 days before it was finally working. There were also small problems with the toilet. They all got resolved, but it was effort on my part.

Very clean, large size room. Same can be said for the bathroom. Love the bed. The only thing to dislike is the poor quality TV which reminds me of the 70s. Forgot to mention I enjoyed each morning till 9:30 a lovely breakfast of scrambled egg , home fries link sausages and bacon. In one word, very good hotel for price quality hotel

There are 7 buildings in this hotel. It is impressive. The room was small, but clean and comfortable. It would have been nice to know that I would have to drive to the pool in order to enjoy it. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

A Little Smelly

I think this hotel has seen better days. The team is doing well and trying, but the musty smells, old furnishings, moldy caulking in the shower and overall vibe was just a little... sad.

The room was cold and musty at first. I figured out how to turn on the heat which helped with temperature but the musty smell remained. I asked for another room and the next room also had a musty smell and the floor had a big stain. The breakfast was nice and the service staff were kind. It's close to the airport.
