The location and comfort was fine. However, the place needed a clean-up in general. Mold in a few places, pool down for remodeling and we weren't informed. Breakfast was ok, plus an interior garden to walk and enjoy.

The room was great and the bed was very comfortable. The website said breakfast was included however they had cancelled the breakfast service after we had registered. We were informed in the morning as we tried to enter breakfast room. The person at the front desk informed us and other guests with as much patience as she could. Bad management as they were not there to handle the situation.

Pool is closed, breakfast bar was hardly edible. And the room looked nothing like its picture. Was very dark and gloomy. My kitchenette consisted of a kureg on top of a microwave on top of a mini fridge. The electrical outlet by the bed had an electrical adapter on it, and the outlet itself wasnt even attached to the wall. I think the person before me spilt something on the floor cause there was a wet spot. The hotel needs a complete renovation is the best I can say.and sound dampening. I heard every noise my neighbors made. The staff were the 1 good part of this stay. They were very friendly.

Check in was slow- but that’s because there was a new person training. Hallways were very humid. Walked into the room and looked really nice. Room was cool temp. Only complaint was that the shower walls were obviously not wiped down recently.

Staff did what they could but they booked us in an occupied room. Second room was full of tools and apparently being remodeled, third room the TV didn't work. Promised a rebate, but they were gone by morning and that never happened. That aside, it was remarkably clean for a budget hotel. Once they get management figured out it'll be a good place to catch some zzz's

No cover on AC; drapes falling off rod; bathroom door catches on new floor tile. We knew at $100/night we weren't at the Ritz. We also bought air freshener as room was smelly. The breakfast was great. Staff was friendly... we did have trouble communicating with maintenance man from Nicaquara.

Perfectly priced for family

We stayed with our family for the state track meet. I had been before and knew the beds were very comfortable even if the rooms were dated. This stay we got one of the updated rooms so it was actually much nicer than my first visit. It had a larger fridge and nice microwave. As I said before the beds are comfortable. They allowed pets at no extra charge. My kids really enjoyed the pool area. It's smaller but has zero entry for little kids and a slide for bigger kids. The breakfast wasn't the best I have had but it was food. This is a great budget hotel!!

Check in was quick and easy, however our room was not that great. The floor felt as if it was soaked and just left sticky, there was heavy mildew smell in the bathroom, and the window was absolutely filthy. The morning we had checked out we had found a yogurt container in their breakfast area that had mold on it.

I didn't even stay.. checked in and it was eerie with some interesting people. Went to the pool and the waterside wasn't even on, not that i would use it though because the stairs looked NASTY. The only reason for two stars is because the front desk lady was super nice.
