Clean and pleasant. There’s no secure WiFi even for paying guests. If you’re traveling for business and have stuff to do that requires secure connection this isn’t the place unless you have certain vpn. Also, there were a bunch of those tiny red bugs that bite at the pool so that was a no go as well.

It's a nice property with good food at the downstairs restaurant. The only issue was it wasnt made clear that parking is valet only at an extra cost. Other than that it was a pleasant stay.

Overall, the property is in good condition and we had a pleasant stay. My only complaint is that they seem to allow smoking in the rooms which affects the smell and can be a negative experience for non-smokers.
