I liked the price of the room. The staff seemed very nice and were helpful. Overall, I thought everything was acceptable for the money. The tiki bar was a little noisy at night. The tiki bar also increased the number of cars in the parking lot. So if your room is near the tiki hut at night, opportunity to park close to your room becauseThe room was comfortable. The floor in the room was dirty. It would turn your feet black if you walked around barefoot. The room itself seemed very clean minus the floor. The laminate flooring in the room had separated in spots or had lifted edges. Which made for potential rough or sharp spots on your feet. The door into the room drug the floor a little, enough it was wearing the finish off the floor. The door also was not sealed very well, you could see daylight around the edges of the door. The pool area looked really nice we never used the pool though.

It is difficult to truly review the property because we were only there after dinner until 5:00 am due to early flight. Great Location,easy check in, pleasant staff, and well equipped. I had a problem with bumping into the bed corners because they stick out well beyond the mattress. Other than that, nothing to notify you of.

Pros: centrally located to most everything around you. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Housekeeping always made sure our bed was made and we had fresh towels each day. Cons: it wasn’t very clean (dirt and dust). The shower didn’t drain well so you were in standing water. The water pressure was very low and the water temperature was almost always lukewarm. Would I stay again? Absolutely because the positives outweigh the negatives!
