Orange Tree Inn

Orange Tree Inn

8/10 Good
"There is a pool. We sat outside at a high top table overlooking it. Absolutely filthy. Tried cleaning the table top off and got really dirty. Room was clean. The shower was the best, and very. Pretty. Not walkable to anything except the neighborhood, which was nice. Close drive though. There is a water filter system which was broken. They got fixed in 2 days I think. Also the first room we wanted didn’t have a fridge. Hardly any have a fridge! We did get another room that had one but not as nice a location as first one. Staff was quite nice."
