No where near the airport! When walking around to have a smoke I did notice homeless people hanging around a BIG blue trash container in the back drinking at night. I also noticed people speeding around in a golf cart as they almost hit me like it was a toy. I see many signs that do not look good for... More

The hotel is clean, and the personnel extremely accommodating and pleasant. The full breakfast was sufficient. The outdoor pool enticing. Under new management, the hotel is making renovations. Directions are needed for how to work the shower. It is a good place to stay for a vacation and near to the airport.

We stayed during the week of 12 - 17 May. First the good. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The staff was friendly. It was close to the Metro. There was plenty of parking. Sadly that's all I can think of. While technically the description of the hotel is correct it is clearly designed to give an exaggerated... More
