Great bang for your buck!

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast options were good. Rooms were clean. Hotel a bit outdated, but was great for the price. We got locked out of our room three times as the key wasn’t working. Location was also great. A little detail we loved was that the hand soap was liquid!

It was. But not enough towels. Especially when we tried to use the jacuzzi tub. Also, something mechanical was loud enough that then it turned on it woke us up
