Staff was good. Amenities were poor. Pictures don’t match in person. Rooms were small, barely any room in bathroom. No tub, no shower door, water everywhere. A/C kept turning on/off, hot cold, no way to keep on al time. Family left sick with colds. Overall not a good experience.

We have been coming here 2-3 times a year for last 7 years! We love the place, however, apparently under new management and per daytime manager they have received several complaints about the same security guard we had an issue with.. hopefully he ends up gone before we decide to return!
