This property is a hidden gem. The rooms are updated, clean and so fresh. It’s quiet, and I got a good night sleep. Unfortunately, I couldn’t give a five stars because the mattresses were just so firm. It was very hard for me to get a great night sleep. But that was the only thing that was wrong with this beautiful place.

Last minute trip, place is clean and updated. It’s not a 5 star hotel but for the price I am definitely impressed. It also has a cute little tiki bar that is in front and adjacent to the pool.

Our room was clean and quiet, bed was comfortable. You can tell this is an older hotel but they are in the process of renovations. We didnt use the pool but it looked nice. We did have a drink at the tiki bar one night and it was lively and the bartender was very friendly. No complaints really. It worked out well for us while in town visiting family.
