10/10 Exceptional

Staff was very courteous. The patio was nice. I enjoyed the homemade flan. The refrigerator needed to be wiped down and high dusting on the fan. The deck infront of the door seemed unstable.

Veronica the receptionist was very helpful and courteous from day 1, she tried her best to help us into our preferred room with a fireplace, we walked in with our booking and she was pleasant and very informative about the property and for future stays showed us other rooms available if our favorite rooms isn’t available. She exceeded above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. 5 star review for her hospitality.

This a a reasonably priced hotel My kids ( 3 and 5) enjoyed running in the big open grass area and the enclosed pool.
Lauren, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was clean but felt like it lacked some things, like no enclosed closet and no vanity. Sink in bathroom was weak and had to report it was coming away from wall. But staff friendly and good location, pool and hot tub.
