Wonderful stay. Pool was nice and clean, patio was well kept. The room was clean. We did prewash our dishes before use and the only complaint is the limited bedding. My son slept sleep on the couch and was not permitted a comforter, only an extra sheet which did not help do much against the cold of the leather couch and and room temp.

The unit had a full litchen. The place was not fancy, but good enough. Breakfast was nice. Not the property's fault I know but some drunk woman kept banging on my outside door at 12:30 in the morning. (My door may have been located near the bus stop on a nerby highway.) As a single woman traveling alone, this place was not a good fit for me.

ur second visit to this location was a marked improvement over the first one. Shinaya was more professional and civil during our interaction on 9/1/25, however, when I arrived at 3pm and requested an early check-in, it was only after asking my name and realizing we'd met previously did she inform me early check-in was not available to us. I returned after 4pm. I was greeted warmly by Sadia she was professional, friendly and stated she was available should we require assistance or had any questions. The accommodations and facilities including the outdoor pool was clean and comfortable. The suite was spacious. We enjoyed preparing our meals and relaxing in the room.
