Was dubious after reading other reviews. For the price of the room we were pleasantly surprised and would stay there again. I would give it a three star rating out of five.
Obviously the rooms could be improved but we were quite comfortable.

We didn't like the bed that folded us like bananas.
We didn't like the shower door handle that had a three inch screw coming out the back. This threatened to disembowel us.
We didn't like the paper thin towels.
The propert has good potential that is being ruined by sloppy workmanship.
Forget putting in a pool and pay attention to detail.

Maintenance of the room was terrible. Paint over spray on the carpet and curtain pelmet. A whole in the screen door to fit the key. Bathroom door was falling apart, no handle on the shower screen. Mattress hadnt been turned and was sinking into one spot that others had left. Etc. Do not recommend, this was 2 star if lucky

Please improve your cleaning!
The location is convenient but the room was not cleaned properly such carpet, fridge, bed, bathroom, table and chairs even the toilet wasn’t flushed properly when I received the room. I hope they can do deep clean once and keep it in good condition from there . If they can improve their cleanliness, they will have more clients. I won’t be back with this cleaning. I don’t mind old furnitures but at least they are clean properly. So disappointed!

Location was convenient for our stay and maybe it's a case of if the price seems too good to be true it probably is.
It was nice that the air-conditioner was on so the room was already cool on a hot day.
One bed had stained sheets, the room had an off-putting smell, the crockery/ cups weren't clean so had to go get dishwashing liquid to use them, badly stained chair fabric, just didn't feel clean and overall sanitary.
