The people employed her are all very nice and been helpful. We came for a surgery and they brought us a refrigerator and microwave so we are able to cook to save money.
I would definitely come back. The grounds are beautiful with a large swimming pool and loungers along with tables and chairs

Clean room, if we paid for 4 persons, common sense is to provide 4 towels no 2.!
No bar available 😅. Only restaurant outside hotel. Old mattress!!!!!! Pls change mattress. Otherwise good location, close to border.

Only stay if there ain’t any other option
I’d only stay here if it was last resort the hotel rooms were dirty and the door keys didn’t work the weekend we stood and they didn't tell us till after we paid which sucked because we had to go to the front desk and ask for them to open our room doors both nights we stood there 1 out the 3 rooms we got had a working key for one day and then it stopped, the rooms had no towels and they seemed a bit dirty also the light switch don’t work only one does and it turns on all the lights in the room which is a hassle during night trying to use the restroom without waking everyone else up because in order to turn the restroom light the lights inside the room also turn on , only good thing is location and the pool area and patio area were nice
