The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They are well on their way to renovating the facilities. Our room was clean, the beds were firm, the sheets and comforter were quality products, and the AC had to be turned up so we weren’t too cold. This place is a great value.

It was sufficient for us since we were passing through, but the area was questionable. The pool was a disaster. We didn't have hot water, but the helpful desk mgr told us the hot and cold controls were probably switched and, thankfully, that solved the issue.
