Dinah's Garden Hotel

8/10 Good
"Good location, I only stayed 3 nights of my 5 night stay as to not disrupt the busy morning for my daughter getting my granddaughter and two step grandsons to school which is why I never used any amenities at the property. Only issue, I wanted espresso I. The restaurant but only regular brewed coffee is offered so I walked to Starbucks about .7 of a mile away. Staff nice, great blow dryer same brand as mine. Could hear too much noise in the morning and people eating outside by the pool through the window, sound proof glass would be nice, my room was 303. Not sure what was up with the ac… first night perfect, 2nd night ok, 3 rd night… hot…. Could not sleep…. Discovered cleaning staff must have decided to turn it off … not ok…. The desk staff and man in restaurant good customer service even though he could not make espresso was apologetic…. Something the property could invest in obtaining. Nice stay, room clean."
