Great stay when you're in a bind and/or on a budget. My girlfriend, dog, and I had to fumigate our house so we needed a place to crash for a couple nights without breaking the bank. Honestly, when we saw the price we were expecting the worst. However, the staff was beyond friendly, the room and linens were clean, the pool looked up-kept, and house keeping was constantly present. I wouldn't say this is a vacation getaway, but if you need a place just to lay your head for a bit, you can't go wrong! Also, they have a small dirt area you can walk your dog to relieve themselves, but if you're dog is annoyingly fussy like ours, a 5-minute walk north is an animal hospital with a huge grass area. Overall, lucky to have found this place. No complaints!
