Great Value for Money

“I was pleasantly surprised by the room features during my stay. I booked a small studio apartment, but to my delight, I was upgraded to a bigger room at no extra cost. The room was well-equipped, including amenities like a kitchenette that allowed me to make my own meals. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring I had restful nights.” view full review

Relaxing Pool Area

“One of my favorite aspects of the resort was the pool and spa area. It provided a relaxing escape after a long day. Having that outdoor space with a barbeque was a big plus! I spent some quality time unwinding there, enjoying the tranquil environment.” view full review

Clean and Spacious Bathroom

“The bathroom in my room was clean and spacious, which really enhanced my overall experience. The shower had great water pressure, making it very refreshing. I appreciated the effort put into keeping these facilities tidy, despite the older age of the hotel.” view full review

I had a decent stay at this hotel; the one-bedroom unit was spacious and clean, with a well-equipped kitchen. Unfortunately, the place is showing its age and could use some maintenance. The pool and heated spa were great, but construction noise from a nearby building was quite bothersome during the day. I appreciated the polite and helpful staff, and I would consider returning at some point.

My stay at this motel was far from pleasant. The first room was unclean and not prepared for guests, leading to a frustrating experience with the reception staff. Luckily, I did get an upgraded room, but the overall condition of the facilities felt outdated. While I appreciated the room upgrade, it still didn't meet my basic expectations of cleanliness and comfort.

Unfortunately, my stay was quite disappointing. The location had potential, but the overall condition of the rooms was unacceptable. While I appreciated the comfy bed and good water pressure in the shower, the lack of cleanliness and attention to detail really affected my experience. The service was also lacking, with a confusing check-in process that left much to be desired. Definitely not worth the rate I paid.

Rooms

My room was in dire need of maintenance and cleanliness. There was water damage on the walls and ceiling, and the mattress was cheap and uncomfortable. I found it unacceptable that the shower taps were at thigh level, making it awkward to use.
