Appears to me to be a repurposed property, but in pretty good shape. Not everything works as it should. Went out the back door to practice my instrument and the re-entry lock didn't work (broken), nor did the door lock at the door into the pool area. Walked around the building and got in (probably needed the walk), but still... Breakfast was pretty good, but the breakfast attendant was not particularly attentive to whether items were available. Don't close the place down, but step up a bit if you want top marks.

Room was clean but had other issues not associated to cleanliness. The bathroom sink drained slowly and would fill up. TV didn't work well. It would constantly freeze up and buffer. Screen in room was broke and wouldn't shut properly. Was able to move to another room for our final night and that room was fine.

Needs a quality renovation

We were excited to see that this tired property was finally getting renovated. But we think our room was one of the ones that had already been “renovated”. It had definitely been repainted—very poorly—as if it had been done in the dark. There was paint slopped on the carpet, tile, etc. It was NOT an improvement over the way the rooms were before. Also, the towels are super thin and rough as sandpaper. Time to replace those! Breakfast continues to be lackluster. On the positive side, the beds are wonderfully comfortable and the rooms are usually quite clean.
