The room smelled musty and felt damp. After a couple hours, clothing and other items we brought with us also felt damp. Room was otherwise clean. We were there during the off-season (as we were told at check-in) so the provided breakfast was very sparse.

Although it’s old, it was very comfortable. The shower was amazing, the breakfast was not. I’d go back if we are in the area again.

Easy check in. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Pool was clean. For the price this was a great deal. Only complaint was there was coffee grounds still in the coffee pot and no coffee was in the room, found a couple hairs in front of the tub as well.
