Everything was good! The only complaint was the broken down, rusted out truck in the parking lot When we pulled up it gave an uneasy feeling about the surroundings. It was right beside the front doors. Maybe it should've been hidden a little better.

Overall the stay was great. The staff were super friendly and went above and beyond. We were in a Jacuzzi room. The Jacuzzi could have been a little bit cleaner than it was when we got there. Actually, the entire room could've been a little bit cleaner. It wasn't nasty or anything. Just a dirty cup left next to the bed on the ground between the bed and table. The bed and pillows were super comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

Possibly the best value for the money in terms of a hotel I've had in a long time. The only complaint I have is the pool was overchlorinated and it got my girlfriend sick, but everything else was great.
