Enjoyed this property, we were only there one night. The bed for the King suite could use some improvement, otherwise a very nice room & property.

Nice comfortable hotel
BELLUR, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location
Great location but a few things need improving including the $6 room service fee and also the single bed in the room had a folded over mattress protector which made it much higher on one side and uncomfortable. Two of my group also had the same so this needs changing in all the rooms with a double and single bed!

Check in and out was good.
Edward, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

GROSS!
Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed it’s. Stains on carpet, on sheets and bedspreads, bathrooms were disgusting and looked like they hadn’t been scrubbed in months. The entire building smells like and barn and NO air conditioning made it so much worse. It was such a sickning smell we literally left and did not even ask for a refund. We would have paid NOT to stay in this MOTEL (not hotel, looks nothing like pictures). If you don’t have another option, either camp out or sleep in your car! Either is better than this motel.

Beautiful setting. Staff super friendly and helpful. We had the spa villa which was superb with views.

10/10 Exceptional

Easily accessible by car and close to restaurants and shops. Restaurant at the hotel had limited space available and could not be booked due to repairs to be done.
