This property is a gem! Very friendly and helpful front desk staff, ample parking, perfect location to the plaza, shopping and dining options. The beds were delightful and the quiet air conditioning (a big plus for me) kept the room nice and cool. Loved all the flowers and pool area Would highly recommend!

So-so place to stay

We were arriving early and had already called to let them know ahead of time. We asked about getting an early check-in and she replied that was possible. It didn’t happen. We still had to wait a couple hours to get a room. They were slow, uncaring, and not very friendly. You have to pay for parking, no fresh water cooler available in the lobby, just bottled water and drinks for purchase. The buttons/snaps to close up the big gap of the curtain by the door in our room were all broken.

Very pleasant and very close to the Plaza. Remodeling has shortcomings. Shower faucet should be on opposite wall from shower head. No outlet at vanity for hair dryer. Need to ADD. Our provide a secure extension cord or install a wall hair dryer. Of note, restaurant had no yogurt. Very odd.
