The 4 days we stayed were okay! Front desk was attentive and very helpful! But on here it says there is a pool and I have 3 kids so we got it thinking there was a pool and wasn’t. Very upset. And non refundable made it even worse. Very upset.

Quiet, pet friendly

Very quiet, could not hear road noise, other guests, children. Beds were extra soft and because it was wheelchair accessible room, beds were really low to ground. Both chairs were hard. No comfortable seating. NO SITTING STOOL IN BATHROOM TO TAKE A SHOWER WITH!! I have mobility issues but am not in a wheelchair so room was inappropriate to my needs. I should have read the description better. Coffee downstairs was better than in room, in room had a plastic taste to it. I would stay here again, just need to not get the wheelchair compatible room is all. Our dog was well accepted by the staff. Whoever owns the mustang needs to put mufflers on it as it woke us up and was annoying every time it was started and ran.
