"First off the shower was ice cold first 2 days. Went to the pool cause it was hott but that was ice cold too. Other the other hand cleaning staff was amazing. Front desk was staff was awesome with assisting directions around the town. The kitchenette room was 7.5 out of 10. We liked it basic kitchen items to cook with but fine. Ac was loud but worked great. Had minimal noise because room faced a slower pace road. Food was good at the hotel. Other places on the street was good food aswell. Patio was nice view but table was outdated and need of repair. Located perfectly fine to the melacon. Awesome location for food or going for a walk 10 out of 10.
