It was horrible a roach ran from under one of the beds to a hole in the border strip on the bottom of the wall. After further inspection of the border stip the was a clear and present nest/egg sack of some kind. Checked out in 3 hours. Did not enjoy. Definitely would NOT recommend.

The pool was closed, there was no breakfast. Staff was rude when questioned about the accommodations that were listed yet not available. The rooms were less than satisfactory… hard beds. Peeling and cracked paint.

The room was clean and worked out great as I was only in town for the evening. I was disappointed with the shower the next morning as it was only Luke warm and with not much pressure. Overall good for the price.
