Pros:

The rooms and refrigerator were larger than some motels very clean , beds slept wonderfully they have balconies. That is the main reason that I reserved it. Our room wasn’t the greatest for the balcony view because it was on the bottom floor, but that was OK the next time I will request one on the second or third floor. The pool areas are fantastic.

Always great
Pros:

Great time and as always great place to stay. We had left a stuffed animal in the room and they called before we left town so we went and retrieved animal for the great grandson. A hidden gem always a pleasure to stay. Home away from home.

It wasn't as great as the rating. The breakfast was disappointing. Bagels, frozen waffles, and hard boiled eggs. No fresh fruit and the coffee wasn't very good.

Pros:

Like the other reviews here, we are very pleased with our stay, especially the staff at the front desk who were SO kind and helpful with everything. I will offer a few things though just so people know: the parking lot and grass are a little messy with trash [old receipts and cups] and Canada geese poop; the wifi signal is good but the internet is slow. Still, if you can look past that, it's a great place to stay for location, price, clean rooms, and graet staff!

Pros:

Shower was so disappointing. Very small and not strong pressure. Outside is outdated. Outside pool was not clean alot of bugs and hot tub was nice but again old and needs updated. Breakfast okay but not a big selection. People very friendly and room very clean. Beds were soft. It was just okay. Probably wouldn’t stay there again.
