“OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2010

the hotel was not in the best shape. a little run down but at least it was clean. the cabana was really neat, you eat all meals there (always buffet), however i found the food to be mediocre. what was nice was that since it was just a hotel, not resort, you got to get out and actually see the city which is much nicer! also we found that dinner ended too early (just before10) especially if you went for a walk before. BEWARE, the pool is PACKED on weekends because it is a popular hotel for the locals. however, a nice convenience is that there is a WalMart right next door if you need to buy anything. and the bar tenders/bus boys are all friendly and polite.

Stayed March 2010, travelled with family

We were treated nicely and our rooms were clean . The food was good and fresh. A basic budget property that people return to year after year. Some for over 35 yrs. We will go again Jan. 2011 but for 28 days. Met lots of nice people there. The stall were all friendly and most managed English.

I have going here for six years first few times we went only
one and two weeks. We liked the place and staff alot ,so last we stayed for 8 weeks this coming Jan. 2007 we will go for 10 weeks. We have many friends over the years that go there for years; some 25 to 30 years.
the place no Hilton , but you get what you pay for. The rooms are simple but clean clean almost very day, clean bed spreads every two weeks,
The food is what it is some days better than others but you can always find something. besides thereis Super Wal-mart next that sells all kind of food, you have Hooters across the street, any Canadian and American fast food outlets.
htere two swiming pools the one near the lobby has a fountain
is the smallest; the second at the back larger not huge but big enough. We have found the staff to friendly and honest never has anything gone missing.
I recommend this place to anyone there alot tosee if you hop the local bus go and do thinks
