Rooms are clean, but small. It is a LONG walk from most rooms to the front desk area due to the colossal courtyard (pool is normal-sized). Hot breakfast items run out at some point, so you should get there early, otherwise you'll have to go asking for stuff as I did. No shade in the parking lot, so you can't leave perishables in your car. Massive ants walking around outside the rooms, thankfully they didn't get in.

Nice staff first of all. Easy check in and they considered right room as we were with kids. When AC was not cool enough and upon asking the front desk lady came in 10m and checked. Due to 106 outside and sun direct hit on the building AC could not make the room cool faster. Later that night all ok and infact morning the room was cold and I had to reduce. Breakfast was with enough options for the price we paid. Kids enjoyed. Overall good experience and kindly request clean around the property like stairs, parking lot etc.

The stay was nice. Nice room. Could use a little deeper cleaning, but I understand the struggle of housekeeping. Found a dead bed bug in the bed, NOT happy about that at all. Overall I’d say 3.5 stars. I’m happy.

Nice but sweaty

The room was nice and everything looked good and clean, but the AC did not work and the freezer did not freeze. Those are my only complaints but besides that the bed was comfortable and I was able to remove the chair to the AC for a little bit. There was also a few homeless people outside but it looks like security takes them off pretty well and quick. He was good with the flashlight
