Average hotel, could use some love, hot tub needed a cleaning, average breakfast, could use some paint throughout, and better attention to detail cleaning. But definitely got the job done, and wasn't discusting by any means. Enjoyed the suite style rooms.

Room quality Great. Air quality needs improvement

The amenities were great. I had a one bedroom one queen suite. Very nice. The only issue we had was the air comfort. During the night hours, the air got so dry.

Great price/Good Stay

Overall it was a great stay, very friendly staff clean (the shower drain needed hair pulled out). The mattresses need replaced, super hard and definitely worn in. Would also be nice with they through on some bedbug protectors, but had no rating on the facility. The breakfast was your typical breakfast, just wish their was a little more variety, same things served for 3/4 of our days.

The hotel was in a great location. The employees were nice. Had to change rooms because of a water heater issue. 2nd room's dishwasher didn't work. That wasn't important enough to me to change rooms again. Both rooms were really dark and weren't the cleanest. Hot tub and pool were nice and warm.
