This was a strange place to stay--I would not recommend. The hotel itself felt unsafe--lots of drug activity and transient people sleeping and dealing in the parking lot. I woke up to find my car had been broken into overnight. The room itself was old with mold on the bathroom ceiling. The fan/AC unit was so stinky that I wasn't able to use it. A surprise $40 on top of the regular rate for this hotel was not worth it!

Family trip, celebrating a birthday. The room was nice and spacious. The bathroom door did not close correctly and the TV controller did not work the first night. We love the indoor pool, spa, and the korn hole game. The second night, the family above us was super noisy. The kids seemed to be running and jumping around. It was hard to sleep.

I will never stay here again. The sheets/comforter had yellow stains, a cigarette burn, bath towel had an orange stain, and the room had a smell. Our room was handicapped and the shower curtain was short which caused the water from the shower to spill out leaving puddles of water. I was told my sheets would be replaced and they never did. Our key stopped working the second night and had to use the Kiosk to speak to someone since the office was closed. This place is not worth the money. The beds were hard and very uncomfortable. So much money spent for us not to have clean sheets and towels.
