Ok
Pros:

The ladies at check in and check out were nice.

Cons:

Beds are horrible, the pool was pure chlorine, and the door for our bathroom was for a handicap person but couldn't close because it couldn't open.

Will not stay at that location again.
Pros:

Did not stay for breakfast

Cons:

Had to move my grandaughters because their room had no air conditioning. Woke up Sunday morning and found no coffee maker in the room. Had it on on other stays.

Overall good except for the slippery tub/shower
Pros:

Good breakfast and clean room

Cons:

Whatever they clean the tub/shower with is very slick and dangerous. I almost slipped twice while trying to shower. This is a major safety issue
