- DFDavid FieldsOct 2, 20255.0Decent hotel in a safe location. The rooms are pretty nice, and seem renovated recently. Three carts on hand (most of the time lol) to bring in all your stuff. I'll stay here again.
- ETEric ThorntonAug 19, 20253.0Not the worst, but Ive definitely stayed in better. Not sure why you'd build a hotel without places to hang your clothes, but there was no closet in our room. On a good note, the gym was very good.
- TATerry AltonAug 4, 20255.0The hotel was spotless! The staff was just wonderful most spoke Spanish but were very helpful and friendly. The hotel has been completed redone and it's clean clean not perfumes clean. We recommend a suite they come w regular apt size fridge, dishwasher, convetioner oven/microwave, real dishes and silverware and a kitchen sink. Some have a balcony it's very hot it got up to 129 one of the days we were there but the kids loved the pool. Breakfast was a large variety that was fresh. Again, I can't brag on the staff enough. If ever in the area again, this is where we will stay.
