My stay at the resort was quite the mixed bag. On the one hand, the room was clean, and I appreciated the well-kept surroundings. However, there were quite a few drawbacks, such as the outdated decor and noisy plumbing issues. The staff was generally responsive, but it wasn't always a pleasant interaction. The dining options were a bit hit or miss, with closed hours that made it hard to enjoy meals at convenient times.

The room was clean but definitely showing its age with old cement walls and some dark corners. It overlooked the driving range, which was nice.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. On one hand, the cleanliness and upkeep of the rooms were impressive, and the golf course views added a nice touch. On the other hand, the outdated windows and noise disturbances made it tough to sleep well. The dining experience was subpar, but I did appreciate the serene surroundings and access to local attractions.

The hotel has a lovely atmosphere surrounded by the golf course and offers a relaxed setting. My meal at the restaurant was superb, and the value for money is quite impressive, especially with their weekday specials. However, I had some concerns about the state of the room upon arrival as the AC took a while to cool it down, leaving me a bit uncomfortable initially. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at this motel had its ups and downs. While it offered a clean room and friendly staff, I was disappointed by bug issues and outdated facilities. The dining experience was surprisingly decent, though. Given the problems encountered, I wouldn't recommend staying here unless necessary.
