I didn't like that the pool was said to be heated and it wasn't the water was very cold. There was also a vent in the pool room in the ceiling that was either covered in dust or mold but it was gross. I liked the staff they were all friendly, breakfast area was really nice as well. Our room was quiet even being across from the pool. Only thing with the room was one bed had what looked to be chocolate on the box spring when we arrived and the smoke detector was coming off the wall

Great place to stay. Thus staff was great, the room and lobby was very clean. The morning breakfast was nothing to write home about? But was decent at best. I give this place 4 stars
