The pool was closed and the water in the pool was green. The shower was horrible. The shower head wouldn't stay in place so you couldn't get under the water. The room was large and very quiet which was nice.

The room was perfectly clean and functional, exactly what I needed. The breakfast was a terrible let down though - cold sausage, brown water pretending to be coffee and I didn’t dare try the rest. I’d recommend it as an easy stop, but Applebees is probably a better bet for food.
