The facility needs major updates. The carpet is frayed. The hot tub was unavailable and looks like it hasn’t been used for quite some time. The bathtub and shower curtain were stained. The mattress had hard lumps. Instead of getting new signs (such as the breakfast and pool hours), they taped rolled up paper over the incorrect time. The staff was limited, but were friendly and helpful.

The hot tub is not functioning, this is not disclosed on their site. The advertised bar had its doors closed, they served beer from the front desk staff. Spoiled milk at the breakfast bar. The eggs & sausages were barely warm. Waffle mix from dispenser was a weird color so didn't use that. Coffee station trash lid was filthy and the bag was not emptied. Breakfast bar trash can also filthy.
