The room was clean and spacious, and the bathroom was also spacious and bright with a deep tub and really good shower pressure. Bed was comfortable and air conditioning worked well. The only downside is that it says there is a restaurant, but i never saw it, and the property is a good distance away from places to eat.

Good stay

Good stay but I think I expected a bit more. I had called twice in the span of 10 days to make sure I was given their complimentary romantic theme so I could surprise my partner. Both people I spoke with said it had been noted. In the two days before I arrived I tried to call to make sure that it was still going to be done but they were having trouble with their phone lines so no calls were going through. When we showed up, I was so bummed because there was no romantic theme in the room. That put a bit of a downer to the start of my trip but then again it’s a complimentary thing so I couldn’t really be upset. I just wished after calling twice to make sure it’ll be done and being told it would be done, it was a disappointment. Other than that, the stay was good! Saw a few bugs in the room but I think because it’s bug season at night. They were NOT bed bugs! Hotel staff was friendly and the food at the restaurant was good! I recommend the brownie and ice cream for dessert because that was so delicious! If you’re looking for somewhere away from the city, this is the place!
