Better than expected
Everything was very good except for the pool. It needed cleaning so that was disappointing since we booked it because of an outdoor pool. The breakfast was amazing, room was clean and comfortable….dont understand the negative reviews.

Family Wedding
We stayed for a couple nights as we were attending a family wedding. Location was perfect, close to shopping and restaurants. The onsite restaurant was very good! Pool was great, they could cut down some of the shrubbery around the pool to alleviate the mess and allow more sunlight. Front staff was professional and friendly. Will stay again. Thank you

Great location ,air-condition was nice .Breakfast could have been better the eggs were not good.
Having a drop box for the key cards would be great in case there is no one at the desk when checking out .

Although the staff were friendly the building needs to be upgraded the doors stick which causes people to have to slam there doors to close which makes it loud for people trying to sleep. During our stay a fight happened in the hallway and needed to be nipped in the butt way sooner then it was . If it was not for the friendly staff We would of packed it up and gone somewhere else
