New and Clean
Very nice place. Everything is new, or recent, and clean. The room is simple, but nice. The only thing that wasn't great was the bed. The mattresses are way too soft, so they are already sunken. We tried sleeping at the foot of the bed just to get out of the trough.

Good area and good room with a comfortable bed. Room jacuzzi was dirty and disgusting. Disappointed having to have paid extra for a jacuzzi room only for it to be not well maintained.

Very nice staff and clean property, pool was nice and cold! The beds were very comfortable. Only dislike was the towels you get, there are kinda rough and as little small. We didn’t bring a car so we didn’t have any opinions on parking. Would stay there again!
