I love the ease of access to our room on the first floor. I love the table and chairs for sitting at. The beds were comfortable. I love the double sinks. The only thing I didn't love was the shower. It looks great but is only barely functional. Not great water flow and difficult to cut on and off.

Liked: Staff & service
They had a big outdoor pool but it wasn't filled with water. The room we reserved was out of service and they wouldn't discount us for a different room. We ended up in a smoking room which smelled so bad. Burn hole in the chair by the table. Chairs didn't even match and looked dirty. Bed was comfortable and the room overall looked clean.

The woman at reception was extremely helpful, taking time to show us where to park our pickup with trailer. Beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. We would definitely stay here again.
