"Room was GIANT! We had more than enough space. I think it was pretty clean. Bed was comfortable. But the blackout blinds had holes in them. But a lot of stuff was broken: the mirrored closet door was off the track, the soap dispenser was broken, the toilet paper holder and towel racks were broken off the walls. A/C was sufficient for a 75° day. We had 1 regular coffee pod and 3 decafs… why? Silverware for the kitchen- but there were NO FORKS. We were there for balloon fiesta, so they had grab n go breakfast which was thoughtful. The regular breakfast was pretty good as breakfasts go. Oatmeal had too much water. The pool was very basic, but clean, and warm enough. The patio had BBQ and fire pit if you wanted. It’s like everything was kind of rundown and old, it was sufficient, but nothing was completely in working order. Maybe would expect to pay less, but it was the busiest week all year."
