Room was clean. Area was fairly quiet when it counted. 2nd time staying here. TV is tiny but, I used the wifi and my laptop so, not an issue for me. La Fiesta is right next to hotel so, I had a great Mexican meal right next door. Wolf road is nearby so, shopping and much more is just a short trip away. Will book again next year.

We’re still staying here. It’s expensive. There’s a pool which is nice, but it is too much money for not a very clean room. Also, the staff won’t let the security deposit being cash but overall they’re pretty friendly when I ask for towels I get them and swimming is fun.

Was horrible n nasty room

10/10

Much better stay this year then last year! This this the lights around the vanity actually worked! The only issue was with house keeping quality, everything was clean, but I did find a stick from some incense stick in the crack of the backsplash, and a previous guests shorts behind the dresser! The last 2 nights, the smoke detector was chirping, you would this that when house keeping was doing their daily service they would notice it and do something about it. Im a hard sleeper, and it didn't bother me
