"Low budget hotel/motel, appears worn and needs updating, but affordable for the area. Pool was actually in good shape and clean which the kids enjoyed and was the biggest reason we booked it. Gym is lacking, just a treadmill and a couple other machines and medicine balls. Breakfast is cheap but worked for us and was convenient with yogurt, cereal and fresh milk, coffee, oatmeal packets and bagels to toast with cream cheese, and some microwaveable breakfast sandwiches. Room was comfortable and clean which was the most important thing, beds were comfortable and the fridge and TV were in good working order."
