The check-in clerk Ronald was great! He provided excellent customer service. He even helped us find a great restaurant for dinner. The room was clean. The outside area was pretty and tropical looking. It even had a heated outdoor pool.

Your room is was okay, but the breakfast was really bad. Nothing there. We had to wait for the eggs that’s all. It is two things and that’s it. That’s not the review I seen on your website. You should work better on your breakfast.

They put me in a room that you was occupied. Then we waited 20 mins for the front desk to find another room. When they did, it smelled really bad. We had to leave. The only positive was the refund. This hotel is basically a motel and by no means 3 star

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was over all fantastic. The room was extremely clean and the bed was very comfortable and roomy for the entire room and the bath was rather large. The only drawback is that it was a motel style of a look from the outside so my thinking was that it would be not a great inside but like I said before I was surprised and pleased with what I found. I prefer to stay in a hotel setting which has an interior entrance to your room because I feel safer traveling alone as a senior. In this particular Hotel, the door is right outside your room just like a motel style so that was the only thing that really concerned me about staying here. I probably will not stay here again but they are my reasons

The property is very nice and well maintained. Our room was comfortable. The art on the wall was the same and not very original. The bathroom and shower were modern. The staff is not that friendly unfortunately. Also the room service is unreliable. There was a delay in servicing our room which was disappointing. I hope the management can address this in the future as we would definitely stay here again. The pool was clean and well maintained. We also liked the location for attractions in the area.
