Dont even think about staying here and dont let the name fool you. Its filthy, old, and uncomfortable. No hot water tap in the shower, no air conditioning remote, rusty fridge and the stair rails are so loose and dangerous. Room smells of stale smoke and buckets of urine in the car park. If I could give it no stars I would. Staff were great.

Its close to the water, in a nice convenient spot. Later checkout to most places. However, upon entering heading to our room there was a hole in the roof (looked like bad water damage) in the pool they have a nice shallow end for children, but the pool was dirty, we pulled a half fish body out of the shallow section. Overall just had a real weird vibe.

Overpriced for the rundown facility. Poor workmanship for an attempt to refresh the rooms, needs new bathroom, painting, furniture old and battered doors have forced entry damage walls damaged, towel stuffed in bathroom ceiling vent to block the hole! In our friends room. Photo of pool area does not represent the facility condition. Needs a complete revamp. Could not get out of there quick enough.
