Disappointed
Pros:

The bed was comfy.

Cons:

We didn't understand that the pool was seasonal and would be empty. If hotels have pools they should advise the dates the pools are unavailable. You generally pay extra for a pool and if it is not working what was the point of choosing this place.

If I ever traveled to that area again, I would definitely stay somewhere else.
Pros:

The employees were nice. This was the only place in the area that could accommodate three people. The room had two queen-size beds, a place with a flushing toilet, and a sink. You could swim in the clean pool.

Cons:

We arrived at this hotel around 9:30 pm and paid $185.13 for a room that fell far short of our expectations. The property is clearly dated, with visible patches and subpar workmanship throughout. We stayed in room 117, where the bathtub and shower faucet leaked constantly, no matter how we tried to adjust or tighten the handle—a stream of water persisted. The bathroom door wouldn’t close properly, adding to our frustration. The cleaning product used, Fabuloso, was so overpowering that we had to air out the room for over two hours, but the strong chemical odor lingered. Even the sheets absorbed the smell. I discussed these issues with the manager the next morning. We skipped breakfast due to our dissatisfaction, and later, when we arrived at our next hotel, I had to thoroughly clean my CPAP machine because its hoses had absorbed the lingering Fabuloso scent from our room.

We were not very happy at this location
Pros:

Outside entrance to our room

Cons:

The price. It was not very clean and I don’t think it is up to choice hotels standards. I would not stay there again
