Staff was very courteous. The room was clean but the paint on the walls was very chipped. We were very disappointed that the pool eas closed. There was no notice the pool was closed if I had known I wouldn't have booked my stay here. One of the reasons i booked was because I was looking forward to using the pool. We asked for a discount and received nothing. We left didnt even stay the night. And still had to pay 50 dollars for parking on top of that for only a couple of hours. Not fair

The Pool was closed for three days while we were there. As we selected it because it said it had a pool, we were very disappointed. Thei is a nice place. There is no reason for them to advertise a pool, be paid for a pool, and then have no pool.
