Hotel lobby smelled a little funky. Like construction ? Staff are nice and room was clean. Can’t go wrong for the price. Barn style bathroom door has to go though ! Fine for couples but might be a little awkward for others traveling and rooming together

I had a great stay just wish there was a pool. U will need a car to get around it’s like 10-15 minutes from everything. The staff were nice and it was clean and quiet. There is a food mart right across the street and a Jamaican spot right down the street walking distance. I just really wish they had a pool. It was tool hot outside.
