"After having to abruptly leave a different hotel because it was filthy and had roaches, my friend, me and our kids booked this hotel last minute and we ended up being pleasantly surprised and grateful. The price point was wha we were looking for, the rooms were large, had a nice out door lounge area, pool was great, and it was clean. The staff friendly and accommodating. And best part….. no roaches. I will be booking this hotel again when I visit in the summer. "
