Mala experiencia
Pros:

La distancia a la carretera

Cons:

Pasamos a descansar despues de un viaje de 10 horas para continuar 10 horas mas. La Habitacion tenia vista a la piscina y los gritos eran terribles. Nadie nos respondio por un cambio de habitacion. No pudimos dormir siesta y la piscina la cerraron a las 10 de la noche y ahi recien pararon los gritos.

Pros:

That the pool was inside and that animals were allowed

Cons:

I didn't like the fact that stuff came out of my deposit when a deposit is there for damage or missing items during your stay not for anything else if there's like a pet fee or early check-in fee I think you should be charged for it when you first get there in the very beginning not out of your deposit

Short and sweet nights stay.
Pros:

Location and it offered breakfast and had a bar. I booked on this site. I said I had a pet yet Booking.com didn’t note that. The gentleman at front desk was super helpful since all the single rooms that allowed pets were taken. Great service.

Cons:

Floors were pretty dirty, dirty wash rag in the shower.

Nice place to relax.
Pros:

Our room was updated, clean, and really nice. Beds were comfortable. I got the garden view room. The pool was just around the corner. We sat and relaxed in the hot tub. Breakfast was good but we got there towards the end. So they were out of coffee. But overall we had a really nice stay.

Not kid friendly
Pros:

The owner is very rude and he approaches kids to yell at them not going to the adults. One of his workers was drunk and they both was telling kids to get out of the pool unless you have a wristband. Your not told this during check in with the front desk lady carly she was great very nice and respectful. She has alot on her plate she's the only one working and answering phones but she did great her name is Carly. But its the owner n other staff who are very disrespectful. Not a kid friendly place.i will never go here again!!!!
