Hot tub was warm at best. Pool was cold. They only provided by request housekeeping. The night before I had to fill out a form if i wanted housekeeping to do anything. No form, housekeeper would not come to the room. Breakfast was fair. This was the first hotel I ever stayed at that did not have a dresser. 1 night fine, i was there for a week, so not convenient.

Property was clean. Basic rooms. The pillows are the tiny cushion sized ones, bring your own pillows. The coffee pot and ice bucket are in the bathroom which is odd. That has to be against a code. The hot tub was so gross. Pool was fine, just cold. Our tv remote didnt turn the tv off OR on, and had basic cable so only a few channels. Bathroom door wouldnt latch. Night one all I heard ALL night was people racing up and down the road. Night 2 someone slammed their door repeatedly for hours. Front desk person was great. Front entrance was clean. Rooms were clean. Would I stay again? Probably not. Not having a working tv or bathroom door was an issue, and I've stayed in better places for the same price.

It took 45 minutes to check in and I was the only one. The fan in bathroom was extremely loud. The lamp was missing a light bulb. The remote did not work. The furniture and carpet were filthy with spots everywhere. Breakfast was very limited and there seemed to never be coffee available. Limited seating. Had to ask daily for fresh towels.
