This whole hotel needs to be updated as it is very outdated. We had an issue with our room and staff did change our room immediately. So staff and service are great and the area is convenient. The price is also good. But I probably wouldn’t say again due to the dated condition.

Easy check in. Great continental breakfast with nice selection of food. Our room was neat and clean but needed serious updating.

The property is pretty outdated but looked like they were in the process of rotavating. Our rooms air conditioner did not work so they had a portable one in the room, not ideal but worked. Breakfast was great in the morning. The pool was cold and the hot tub was just warm not hot.
