Got sent to a resort that I didn’t book,so they tried to charge me more I refused. So they sent back to the original booking for which they told me they were having problems with something that never materialized. And now I left that room spotless and they are giving me the run around. So no I am not happy with my stay there.

Friendly and welcoming check in. We were given breakfast vouchers for each day of our stay. Nice free pancake and egg breakfast served at the restaurant on site. The room was a bit small but very clean and comfortable with all the necessary amenities. I would give this place an A- based only on the weak water pressure in the shower.

Clean room, pretty spacious. Good for the price for sure. Traffic noise was pretty high being right off the main strip, and the neighbor noise was noticeable. But we'd stay here again!

The room was clean and looked like it had some updates. The toilet needs to be updated to a handicap height. The old toilet make you feel like your sitting on the floor. Otherwise, the bed was comfortable. Please add a sheer curtain in the window so the heavy curtains can be open and let light in. Will stay again.
