It reminded me of my grandmother’s nursing home.
Pros:

I was looking forward to staying somewhere a little unique.

Cons:

The beds were too small. The bathroom was dingy in the corners. The room smelled weird. The pool area was rundown. There was a man walking around for two days in bare feet, including in the breakfast area, and nobody on staff said anything to him.

Definitely worth another stay
Pros:

The rooms were very spacious and clean. The shower was good pressure and got hot to my liking. The breakfast was good and they even have a 24 hour coffee bar.

Cons:

The beds could be a little more comfortable and maybe a guide for the television.

Pros:

I liked the location

Cons:

The bathroom had a weird smell like old pee and the toilet had weak suction. We stayed two nights and I asked for housekeeping and they did come and change sheets and take trash but I know they did not vacuum due to some pepper flakes my kids spilled on the floor still being there when we returned. The pool was decent I feel like it needed some vacuuming. also the handicapped lift chair they had was broken and laying on the ground beside the pool. The breakfast was nice but the lady that made sure it stayed stocked as people ate was very rude and unwelcoming! The lady that checked us in was extremely welcoming and nice but the man that comes at night was not the best! I asked him for extra towels and he tried to give me pool towels I politely told him no I wanted bathroom towels and he did go get them. It’s not a bad hotel it was ok for the price we payed. I can’t say I’d stay there again just due to the cleanliness not meeting the standard I’m used too.

Nice place for the price. Extremely quiet and comfortable.
Pros:

Great location. Good value. Nice breakfast. Wonderful bed. Very quiet. Clean.

Cons:

Lobby was absolutely dark when I arrived at 10 pm. Seemed creepy. Not a single light was on. Only light on was at the reception desk.

Needs updating.
Pros:

Size of the room and location were great!

Cons:

There was dust on the back of the sofa, why? Toilet was very slow. There was dirt in the corners of the bathroom. It was very difficult to open door. Bathroom had water leaking on the floor. TV was very difficult to work and understand.

Nice comfortable stay.
Pros:

Very comfortable beds! Extremely quiet and clean

Cons:

The only negative- we parked in back, but you can't use the back doors to get in the hotel, you have to walk around to the front doors.
