This place is charming. The pool, music, and decor are great to hang out and enjoy the weather. I loved being able to walk my dog and found the Twisted India nearby for our vegan diet. The coffee in the morning was tasty. All that you need at an affordable rate.

There were no electrical outlets in the bathroom. And very few in the bedroom. In this day and age with all the electrical things we need to carry like CPAP machines, phones and computers that is really a problem. Breakfast choices were just OK.

There was NO water coming out of the shower - I was ready to go to the office to get my money back and then 10 minutes later the water comes on. Not good and the water was only luke warm.
