Very nice accomodations for a very nice price

The rooms were great, 2 TV's worked well for March Madness. I was surprised by the flourescent light bulbs as LED's would save them money and help the environment.

Locks on doors needed new batteries, several minutes to get cards to unlock door. Dishwasher not functioning, dirty dishes were left in dishwasher, not checked before renting room to new customers. Front desk was informed of situations. Otherwise, was a great place to stay.

pictures were so deserving, disappointed right from the start when our keys wouldn't work for the doors, then to see the pool and how small it was and no towels, then informed the hot tub was not working which was a main thing we wanted to do. after getting to our room, it was a lot smaller than it looked in pictures and only 2 towels were left, we have 5 kids and 2 dogs with us so 1 roll of toilet paper and 2 towels wasnt going to cut it. also didnt get any of the requested items i asked for when reserving the room and the trash bags were so small and ripped so we had a bunch of garbage we could get rid of the entire weekend. it was an ok place for the price and no notice complaints but needs some work done and upkeep and more supplies offered would help and a notice of broken amenities would be nice as well.
