The overall condition and cleanliness of this location are horrible. Smells musty, was not very clean, and overall, the location needs to be renovated.

Good for families on a budget

Much better than the previous owner ( 10 + years ago ) Only thing the pool was too cold and didn't get to enjoy it. Had a King room and it was comfy didn't wake up with a sore back.
