Booked property for the use of pool. Pool was not available but front desk was kind enough to make accommodation next door for pool use.Room was clean. Wooden Headboard was broken and refrigerated was broken and had a foul smell.

Meh
Not like the web site said. No pool tables and pretty poor plumbing. We changed rooms once just to get in a room with the same poor plumbing. Restraunt was ok. Rooms were nice and large. But i wont stay there again.

This poor property has definitely seen better days. It definitely needs a complete overhaul. I guess it was probably clean enough, but because it's so old, it just appears dirty. The bed was so old and uncomfortable, the air conditioning either froze us out or didn't work. The bathroom...ugh. Re-do the bathrooms. The staff was absolutely lovely, though, so that was very nice.
