Mediocre.
Pros:

Bathroom exhaust fan didn’t work. We had to share the pool with people from the hotel across the street for some reason and the kids were very loud and obnoxious. Same owners at both places is what I heard. I thought there was a breakfast but was never told where.

Cozy
Pros:

Although the hotel was a little older and had a bit of a musty smell in the hallways, my room was perfect for what I needed and it was very cozy! I would definitely stay here again.

Pros:

We rented the one bedroom with balcony. The bedroom was offset into the room, so it was very dark and dimly lit- with no window to brighten. Our remote in the living area didnt work and the tvs had basic cable only- making it hard to find any relaxing entertainment. The chair had white splotches on it- which we didnt sit in or touch for that reason. The bed was HORRBIBLY loud. Every movement was heard. There were lots of cobwebs and peeling yellow wallpaper. The showerhead had one setting- needles. The bathroom door, when open, would show the toilet area to anyone laying in bed. But there was only enough room to open/close that door if you had nothing on the floor next to that side of that bed. The hallways also had a very musty/pungent smell.
