Fine place if you are passing by, more budget but same quality hotels available
Pros:

Clean, good breakfast. Comfortable rooms for a 3 star. Cbs, fast food, aldi right next door.

Cons:

I chose this only for its outdoor pool but was not mentioned that it was closed after labor day (I arrived 1 day after). Apparently they dont allow without a life guard but they can put a sign and say swim at your own risk. It is still hot. So i stayed here for no reason.

The staff are kind, the cleaning ladies are great! Just wish the rooms ment for pets didn’t smell like pee and that the
Pros:

It was a nice area, pretty secluded

Cons:

Disliked the fact we had to pay for parking. I also expected that when we bring pets and pay $150 per. That the rooms wouldn’t smell like dog pee and that the $150 would be enough to get a decent smelling room.
