The bed was quite comfortable. There were convenient electrical outlets on both sides of the bed. The in-room refrigerator had a freezer as well as simple refrigeration. The property needs some renovation. Window shutters are nice looking but they had many broken hooks. The hot tub was large and heavenly warm but the pump was broken. It had been working the day before.

The room was cute and the area was safe (lots of other hotels around). However, it’s not a very walkable area and we ended up driving pretty much everywhere for dinner, shopping, etc.

After checking in we walked into a dirty room. Hair all over shower. Floors not cleaned. The place was old. Our furniture was all old and had burn marks. Toilet paper is horrible. The place is conveniently located. Did not see roaches or mice.

We traveled with family and little kids. We picked this location for the pool and hot tub. We booked a one bedroom so that the kids could nap in peace while we watched TV. The room is spacious with fridge and microwave. It's a 10 minute drive to the aquarium. I recommend this place.
