This room looked like they divided an actual hotel room in half and stuffed an armoire in it. The room was clean but crowded. We had to ask the staff for towels twice and they were not rude- but not friendly. They seemed annoyed to be bothered. The breakfast selection was great, but each day we had to ask for the coffee machine to be serviced. This hotel is fine, but not a great choice for traveling with small children. Probably will choose a different hotel next time.

First, the property itself is odd. The access road is dark and overgrown. The outside of the property is a mess. I stayed there before a year ago and it was the same situation. A lot of litter and junk piled around outside. The staff is nice and the room is fine. But this place has obviously seen some hard use. They do not seem to be keeping up with the wear and tear of daily use.

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff is very nice. The only downfall is the toilets don’t have much pressure but that’s in this area. So you do need to flush them a few times.

Nothing special to write home about by anymeans. Hot tub was not working. Pool was dirty. Once you get on the other floors of the hotel. Theres no air flow or ac in the hallways and once you go to your room for the first time. The ac is off so its hot and muggy until it fianlly cools off.
