Comfort at a great price and location.
Pros:

Great location and large room size.

Cons:

The open times for the indoor and outdoor pool are far too late at 8 am. Some travellers, due to work and travel commitments need access starting at 7 am, or even earliet.

Overall, my stay was exceptional thanks to James and Brandy!
Pros:

The staff at this property was outstanding. James at the front desk was so accommodating as we had been traveling since 4 a.m. and had our rooms ready early. Brandy in the dining room was a delight, after traveling since 4 a.m., she went over and above to feed us. Both of these employees are outstanding!

Cons:

Property could use some updates

It was ridiculous to wait for hours on end to get the TV and internet fixed.
Cons:

The TV did not work at all. My son and I traveled over 8 hours and had no TV to watch or relax. I waited hours for someone to fix the internet and TV and after it was past midnight I gave up!! I could not relax or shower because I was waiting for the repair man. I was told there was no other rooms but when I checked on line there was availability.

Lack of labor will be your downfall
Pros:

This location is really dated. They have cut labor and most places have one person doing it all. Restaurant has one person working. She cooks, waitress, cashier. Bar area one bar tender that does drinks and food without a bar back so she is running around. Front desk person was in training and was trying to help multiple people at same time. Room cleaners missed our room had to call and get towels since they didn’t clean the room. Road noice is very loud. It’s a pass for next time. Staff works their butts off. Just a worn out location.
