Stayed there because my granddaughter was having surgery at the nearby hospital. The a/c wasn’t working. Maintenance did come to fix it but it still didn’t work well. The building is just old. Everything is outdated and the room smelled very musty.

The pool patio access from our hotel room was perfect. The pool was heated which made it really nice and relaxing. Loved that there was a small kitchen to cook and keep things cool. Housekeeping was fantastic, when we requested them to come they even washed some dirty dishes for us that we had in the sink. Definitely enjoyed our stay here.

Excellent place to stay with great amenities with pool towels, bathroom amenities such as shampoo/conditioner and body wash dispenser, 1 block from e-bus for 50 cents to go to downtown or the beach. Great restaurant onsite but also walking distance from McConnell ice cream and daily grind breakfast place.

Unique area away from the hub of touristy areas but also near a hospital so street in front is rather busy but also had no trouble sleeping. Nice area for the hot tub away from the pool and kids. Very attentive and friendly front desk staff.
