I had a great experience at this hotel, especially considering how convenient it is for quick stopovers. The rooms were clean and well-kept, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my arrival was smooth. However, the air conditioning could have been pre-cooled, and while the amenities were adequate, the hotel does show its age. Overall, it's a solid choice for a budget-friendly stay near the airport without the extra costs of going into the city.

The resort offers a beautiful pool and BBQ area, and the rooms are modern and clean. I had an enjoyable experience with the added luxury of having my own spa bath. However, the air conditioning could definitely improve, and the location is a bit far from the city center, which made getting around a hassle without our own vehicle.

I found the hotel to be a decent budget option with clean rooms and a welcoming atmosphere. The community kitchen was a great bonus for those wanting to save on meals. However, it was a bit far from the city center, and I had some trouble with the bathroom cleanliness due to ongoing construction nearby.

The hotel offers a great budget-friendly option for a brief stay, with clean rooms and a friendly atmosphere. However, noise from the nearby highway can disrupt sleep, especially in the early morning. The hotel is undergoing renovations, which may improve the experience, but currently, the location near the road can be challenging for a restful night.

My experience at the resort was a mix of highlights and some hiccups. The hospitality from Ally and Steve definitely stood out as they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, especially offering a homemade Christmas dinner. The rooms, while small, were clean and provided the necessary comforts for a decent stay. However, the slow Wi-Fi and the minor ant problem were quite bothersome, especially when trying to connect and relax after a long day. Overall, I'd recommend the place for the outstanding hospitality, but there's room for improvement in some areas.
