This hotel is so tired and in need of routine maintenance and refreshing. I don't know if it was dirty or just old, but I didn't want to stay any longer than I had to! The hotel staff was not terribly friendly or maybe just not well trained at check in. Better at check out. The property backs to a golf course and the back garden is pretty. I… Read more

The hotel staff was not terribly friendly or maybe just not well trained at check in. Better at check out. The property backs to a golf course and the back garden is pretty. I couldn't access the patio off of my room as I couldn't get the door (with broken glass) open. Read less

Breakfast was better but not great. We only stayed one night so it was fine but I would have been disappointed if I had booked for longer. Read less

It’s like an American motel inside a gated community in a quiet neighborhood. The rooms are large with two large beds. We stayed only a night, arrived late and checked out early, so couldn’t explore much. The best feature is that you can park your car in front of your door.

It’s like an American motel inside a gated community in a quiet neighborhood. The rooms are large with two large beds. We stayed only a night, arrived late and checked out early, so couldn’t explore much. The best feature is that you can park your car in front of your door. This was very helpful as we were on a road trip. I only interacted with two front desk staff (while checking in and checkout), they were very friendly and helpful, pretty quick too! Excellent value for money! Read less
