Staff members have been wonderful. Property is a bit older but has been refreshed and is clean and very nice. It has been a great “stop-over” while on our travels. My only complaint is that the a/c unit was very noisy. Otherwise a good value and good overall experience

The staff in both the hotel and restaurant were great. But the lack of privacy while taking a shower is a poor design choice. Why add a solid glass window from the room to bathroom. When the bathroom light is on you have no privacy. Keep the wall solid. Other than that it is an enjoyable place too. Transportation to and from the airport is great.
