Not the worst place to sleep but I’d choose another place next time.
Pros:

Reasonably clean and felt safe.

Cons:

The dated bathroom with a toilet that barely readed the middle of my calf (I’m 5’6). I felt like I was in a preschool bathroom. Also, the shampoo is a good brand but smelled “manly” IMO.

Also, why TF did I get a text stating I had to fill out a form with all my detailed information before checking in but then the guy at the desk required me to fill out my information again?!? It came across real scammy. Waste of time when I’m trying to enjoy every last moment of our vacation—took too much time from my family time and even more time while checking in. I wouldn’t recommend or stay here again for that reason.

Just change the menu every day
Pros:

The location, the price and the facilities were very good, it's clean, not the best but it looks good to me with my kids and to have a place to sleep and have a quick breakfast was very good

Cons:

The breakfast was every day the same, we stayed for three days and we ate the same eggs, same sausage, same potatoes for the three days, you should change for people staying longer

Pros:

We were very surprised to have a tower fan already in our room. The pool and hot tub.

Cons:

The fan was in the room because the air conditioner doesn't cool the room properly. The phone in the room didn't work, yes it was plugged in so I had to go down to the desk and ask for some towel. I brought our dirty towels and told her the phone doesn't work, she said sorry and blew it off. Our carpet in our room was dirty and damp and the smell of the room was musty .
