I was pleasantly surprised at this hotel for the price. It was amazing. Breakfast was awesome; hot eggs, sausage, biscuits & gravy! Also an omelette station one morning and a yogurt bar with all the toppings! The pool was very spacious; water was the perfect temperature. The only thing negative I could say is a couple things are outdated, but not to the point where I would think it’s not clean. Definitely stay here if you’re in the area.

Bedding and towels were not clean at all. Thankfully I travel with my own, but there were spots on the fitted mattress sheet once I pulled back the duvet and spots all over the duvet. The wash cloths were almost sticky they were so dirty, and all I wanted to do was dry my hands. If the room was clean I’d give it 5 stars, but based on the whole experience, 3.5 stars
