Property was above average for me. Clean, interior seemed well maintained, and modernized a bit. One issue I had was the height of the shower head. It was ridiculously low. And the faucet handle was weak. Should be replaced.

Well suited for us and the dog. Only negative was the quality of the breakfast. Even the coffee was laughably weak and cold. Just assume that they do not offer breakfast.

Not the best.

I was here visiting family and was told I could not have any guests for any reason I got a room that had a pool specifically so my nieces could swim and stay with me for a couple hours and have some room service. I couldn't do any of that. If you're here on business I guess it would be okay it was semi clean. But if you're here for family fun I suggest somewhere else.

Poor stay

The pool is permanently closed we were told after asking about it because on website it says they have one. The bed smelled like pee and the bathroom is so small the door almost hits the toilet and hits the shower when halfway open. The tub spout had mold all the way around it and the rub drain did not work because it was just laying in the tub broke.No elevator so don't take in heavy stuff!
