Pros:

Хорошое расположение. Очень чисто, хороший завтрак.

Cons:

Номер был полностью оплачен заранее. При check inn был запрошен депазит $ 100, оплачен карточкой PayPall. Уже прошел месяц, но депазит до сих пор не возвращен. Неоднократно звонила в отель, но ничего не смогли обьяснить. Все еще надеюсь на возоат депазита .

Nice clean place to stay and good location for what we needed.
Pros:

Everything was clean

Cons:

Sounded like a herd of elephants was in the room above us. Not really the property’s fault though.

SHIT
Pros:

Absolutely nothing.

Cons:

The rooms were absolutely disgusting. Old molding carpet, shower full of cracks, caulking and mold. Bed, dresser and other furniture old, aged, and falling apart.

Convenient.
Pros:

Close to sightseeing places, very clean updated rooms, Wi-Fi, amenities (microwave, coffee machine, ice machine, friendly reception, quiet rooms, parking for one car, great breakfast! Accommodating and comfortable beds.

Cons:

Entrance was not convenient, we missed it first time. Property appearance needs more TLC, nicer landscaping around pool, jacuzzi was very dirty and smelled and not warm. Our first entrance was seeing a pile of sheets and pillows on the floor and against the wall and corridors were not very clean. First impressions are important.
