Had to call a number for someone to come check us in. Our room was clean. Bed was firm. Pillows not so nice, but we had our own so no problem. It is OK for an overnight stay. Not sure I would stay 2 nights.

Okay
Cons: There is no continental breakfast, as advertised. The property is in desperate need of updating. The hot tub has been drained.
Pros: The service staff were very kind. If you’re looking for a cheap place to lay your head, it gets the job done.

The property was nice with Comfortable beds, There was a latch lock for safety. No free breakfast and staff in the am weren’t super friendly. Coffee in the room could use an upgrade. Also there was bugs seen on the property.
