This is a clean, quiet, very well maintained property, with large rooms, and comfortable, high quality beds. The large shaded outdoor sitting area is a bonus. The staff is courteous and always available. It's good to know individual owners are saving these better quality motor courts, and that this travel experience is being saved for the future. I highly recommend this property.

This property is worthy of consideration because the staff is outstanding. Ownership really needs to invest in an update as soon as possible but the property is well maintained. Dated but well cared for.
