"The hotel itself could use a good paint job. The rooms are cozy and comfortable. I was on the first floor and didn't really like how the patio doesn't really have privacy. I had a corner room and it was very loud you could hear the neighbors upstairs as well as workers throughout the day. The pool is nice, didn't utilize the restaurant. Also be aware that if you are parking on the property it's $15 a night which seems expensive to me especially since they seem to have plenty of parking. Overall...
