Cozy Room Setup

I loved the cozy pull-out couch and the mini fridge in our room. It made storing our snacks and drinks so convenient, allowing us to enjoy our own little space without feeling cramped. Everything felt clean and well-organized, which enhanced our stay tremendously.

Tasty Poolside Meals

The bar and grill on-site served delicious meals. I particularly enjoyed the convenience of ordering lunch while lounging by the pool. The food arrived hot and fresh, creating the perfect atmosphere for our family gathering.

Refreshing Shower Experience

The shower had excellent water pressure, which made my morning routine feel rejuvenating. Plus, the bathroom was well-stocked with toiletries, so I didn’t have to worry about forgetting anything for my stay.

Well-Equipped Kitchenette

The kitchenette was a fantastic feature. It made it easy to prepare light meals and keep our drinks chilled. Having a microwave and a fridge allowed us to save money while still enjoying our stay.

6.4/10

Our stay was quite a mix of highs and lows. The room was clean and comfortable, which made for a decent stay overall. However, the strong smell of smoke from other guests made it difficult to enjoy the balconies and the overall atmosphere. The hotel does offer reasonable rates, but cleanliness and enforcement of policies could use improvement.

Rooms

The room was clean and mostly comfortable, but there were issues with the carpet and some minor maintenance needed on the sliding door.

Service

The service was mixed; while check-in was easy, I found the staff’s response to complaints about smoking inadequate.

Location
