Do not recommend this location at all. It is a health hazardw with the mold in the shower, rooms.
Pros:

This facility was so run down. It smelled of cigarettes even though the sign outside the building stated it is a smoke free facility. The mold inside the rooms was scary and the whole room reeked of mildew and mold. We complained and the desk moved us to another room but sprayed the room with perfume. We checked out immediately when my child started to experience asthma attacks.

Cons:

the rooms were completely run down. The swimming pool has a layer of black slime over it.

Pros:

The staff was pleasant and helpful.

Cons:

We booked a handicapped room but when we arrived there wasn't one available. The room they gave us was spacious enough but the bathroom was not equipped with bars by the toilet or shower.

Not my favorite Country Inn
Pros:

Room was very clean even tho a little dated

Cons:

Place smelled like bleach as we walked in foyer. Pool was nearby but unsure if it was from chlorine or cleaner used. When we entered our room it smelled like old bleach/musty combo and that circulated when we turned ac on. Additionally, on a lesser note the hair dryer didn’t work.
