It was fine for a one night stay for us. The check in was easy. We were able to get in our room early and let the kids swim. The swimming pool was warm and clean. The room was pretty spacious and clean. The heater was loud and had a strange musty smell. so we turned it off. We could have used an extra blanket at night. It was quite cold. There was a nice coffee maker, but no decaf or tea. For the price it was fine,
by the outside, it's an older property but the room was updated and pleasant. small desk, kuerig, mini fridge and microwave, full size shampoo, conditioner, soaps, and plenty of pillows on the beds. would absolutly go there again if up there.
Room was really clean, bed was really comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back.

Great stay for what it was. A little nervous when we showed up, but was pleasantly surprised. The room was clean, which I think is all that matters. Staff was rude and inconsiderate in one instance, that left a bad taste for us. The pool was nice. Would stay again, but probably not just due to location.
Our room was large and super clean and looked to be recently remodeled. It was comfortable and cozy. I didn't have time to try the pool.

Loved the triple bed apartment. We had plenty of space for our family. Only complaint was the kid running upstairs until 10pm, the neighbor smoking MJ next to our a/c, smelling the whole room up and the street noise. Other than that, the kids enjoyed the pool!

You get what you pay for. Best to worst: staff was friendly and helpful, rooms were clean, no breakfast, cheap coffee, small towels, broken shower handle, poorly accessible parking in rear section, and absolutely rock hard pillows. Will not stay here again.
