The beds are hard. No breakfast. The property needs a good deep cleaning and update of furniture. That staff was amazing.

The property appears as though it has had some updates. Room was clean, updated bathroom but overall super small for a 2 queen room. We used the pool a couple times and it was a good size and clean. Unfortunately, no hot tub. The staff was friendly and the space overall was good! We were a bit disappointed in the breakfast setup. It was $16 per person for a buffet style breakfast. While the wait staff was great and dining area was clean, the food was mediocre. As a family traveling with kids, we would much prefer a continental breakfast. Overall it the stay was just fine!

The showers weren’t ideal, the water ran onto the bathroom floor so we had to use towels to soak it up. The heat kicked on every few minutes with a loud noise that made sleep difficult.
