Do not stay.

Bed was a full size not a queen bed as described. Bathtub had dark hair around it and a dirty film inside the entire bottom. We couldn’t shower for the two days we stayed. Sheets were also dirty and stained . We were not offered an upgrade & we appeared to be the only guests that weekend as the parking lot was empty. Pool is closed.

Very rude front desk receptionist. We checked in an hour and a half late and the room still wasn't ready, clerk stated it wouldn’t be ready for another hour and a half which would put check in at around 6:30 pm. He then stated if you don’t like it he can cancel the room. Very rude response. Will not stay here again!
