The whole place was very clean and the people were very nice. The beds were i think a little older and not really comfortable but fine. The pool was not up and running for us it was alright but maybe others would want to use it. We would stay again

I enjoyed my stay a lot , the room was clean area was quiet. And fairly close to attractions we were interested in. The only thing I was kinda sad about was there was no bath tub for my kiddos but even that wasn’t a big deal 10/10
