The bathroom needs to be renovated. The wallpaper was coming apart from the wall. The shower head barely put out a steady stream of water. Worse was bathroom floor. Couldn’t decide if it was dirty or severely stained.

Nice bed and room. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. After a day outside in 98-degree weather, we were looking forward to a nice swim in your pool. However, the air conditioner was not working in the pool area, and the pool room was overwhelming HOT!!
