So overall we enjoyed our stay. But the hotel has a few short comings. The rooms are very dated. The bathrooms need to be updated and there is no room to put toiletries or other personal items. There is a lot of noise from the streets and the

It has a great outdoor space, pool and bar area. Staff were really friendly and helpful. The area outside the hotel is noisy from the road and passing people. Also homeless is an issue here who are along the road outside the hotel which can be a bit unsettling at times. The hotel does not have a restaurant just a small selection of options in the morning. I would stay again

The staff was kind and friendly, but they were just not trained well. It took 3 hours to finally be told that the hotel did not have cable TV. Our room did not have toilet paper. We told them at the front office, and it was never provided during our entire stay. Not having cable TV will cause us never to stay there again.
