very ordinary
A cold, noisy, pokey room with very basic facilities. Not good value. And finding lipstick on the glassware doesn’t enhance the look.

The only thing I liked about this property was the location. Now that I have been away from this property, and cooled down, In mind and body! I will just say it was extremely hot outside and inside. No AC., poor air circulation, windows only open a few inches, overhang and adjacent building block breeze,fans did not help. We stayed only 1 night. out of 4 no refund on prepaid booking.

Awesome property. Clean and presentable. Was a bit unsure after reading mixed reviews. Yes the plunge pool is stained - if you know anything about Sulfur- you’d understand. Had Lakeview room - fantastic view. Great outdoor seating. Very happy

We booked a studio room which had no air conditioning, it was approximately 32degrees in our room, 100% uncomfortable, considering all other rooms had air conditioning, when asked to be moved to a room with air conditioning this was not an option considering there were rooms available, instead we got a fan, two bottles of water and a bowl of ice. Totally unacceptable temperature to be expected to stay and sleep in.
