Great stay after work
Needed a place to stay while I was in the area for business, and liked the price and location. Had a wonderful stay..and loved having 2 places to eat within walking distance. The pool was very simple and nice for a evening dip before dinner. Overall it fit my needs to a tee.

Not for Elderly
This property was ok if you were staying a night or two. If you need or want to stay a month or more; look for another property. The furniture was extremely uncomfortable. The bathroom not suitable for anyone elderly that needs to have balance. Not enough blankets as the weather was chilly. The check-in book is outdated.
