"A great stay, loved that the 2nd bed had its own room and tv. Bathroom was spacious. The water was hot, the fridge worked. They even have a mini golf there along side a patio where you Can relax. The only downside was you Can tell some guests live there as they were working on their cars and hanging out in groups in the rooms"
