"Large and comfortable room, very clean, with good amenities. Right in the middle of the main street. In has underground parking, a small swimming pool, a good restaurant, and a beautiful central area to seat outdoors. Very nice place for a comfortable stay. However, it’s still a road motel, so I think that it’s very overpriced."

"Very nice and clean tent. Spotless clean. Good amenities. A fully equipped kitchen. A big bathroom. The price per night for Greenwell point is way too high. I don’t think it’s worth $270 a night for a tent in a place where there’s nothing to do, it’s not a tourist place, and there’s no bar/clubs/restaurants at all."
