The rooms along the back look out over a hillside with trees and vegetation. Peaceful and relaxing. Breakfast was good (really like the mini omelettes with cheese). Whole building is remodeled so everything is up to date. Several restaurants within walking distance. Enjoyed our stay of 2 nights.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property was misleading in their ad and reported they offered a continental breakfast in their listing. This was NOT true. This property doesnt even offer coffee or any food. The rooms were so filthy with mold and mildew and stained furniture, dirty shower curtain and dirty microwave, looked like dried blood on the ceiling. To make matters worse, the fire alarm went off at 7am, ear piercing alarm with flashing lights, after only a few hours of sleep. If the hotel staff knew the room was faulty, it shouldn't have been rented out. This place is a scam and should be inspected by the health department.
