The staff were very friendly. The pool area was nice and the guests were quiet when using it. We had an issue with the a/c on the first night but the staff fixed it while we were at dinner, so we were very pleased.

The gentleman at the check-In desk was very kind to switch our room to a downstairs I had asked for one on Expedia but didn’t realize the property doesn’t get the request, you have to call and ask for it. Room was clean and beds were comfey. There’s a really nice outdoor area to swim and visit. We will definitely stay there in the future.

This hotel was unique and charming. Our room was clean, and spacious. The bed was comfortable, the linens were fresh. The pool was very nice and inviting. This hotel was built in 1984 and does lack outlets. But besides that there is nothing negative to be said about it.
