When we walked into the room it smelled like a damp basement. Bedding and carpet were all damp. Light bulb out over sink( nothing big and was fixed when told staff.) Water still in coffee maker. Staff did give us a bag to hang in our room for moisture, helped somewhat. Staff was kind. Breakfast was good.

"Overall everything was very clean and comfortable! Only thing that wasn’t that great was the pool temperature was on the cold side. But that was minor compared to a nice hot tub, room, and delicious breakfast."
