We had booked a room with balcony looking out to the street not realizing it’s a busy street. We got upgraded to a bigger room with pool view without any request. We appreciated that very much as e were tired that day. The ac in the room worked excellent, the room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Parking is across the street. We only stayed one night so did not get the a chance to try the restaurant, which looked great but can’t actually rate as we decided to try another restaurant in the town. ##### Roberto Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 9 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The room was much smaller than I thought it would be but it was right on the pool which was nice.
