Were it not for Hotels.com I wouldn't have considered this location. While there were a few issues with the room those did not deter from the evaluation. The room was very clean. Although it was one of the smaller options it provided a great space after a day of traveling.

Lisa does it all from check-in to making breakfast to cleaning up after it, and she does it well. You can order french fries, chicken strips and a few other items but the nearest restaurant is about 1/2 mile away. Bring quarters if you plan to use the 1 washer and dryer. If you’re a big TV fan, I’d ask about that. I believe it’s a smart TV and the non-WiFi channel guide doesn’t give show info. At least I didn’t figure it out. WiFi was fine for iPad streaming. You can tell there is pride of ownership from the extra amenities in the room (iron/board, hairdryer, mini fridge and microwave, etc). The pool looked clean and inviting. A good, comfortable, quiet 2 nights with excellent service. I’d stay again.

They have done some nice work with this property, but the small things add up. My room was very small, with no desk, and a sticky top to the dresser, which I had to clean. Also, the lock to the room was finicky and staff were unhelpful in solving that issue.
