Everything about this place was fun. It was clean. The staff were great and I highly recommend it. My mother-in-law might even want to book a whole family reunion there.
These two pictures are from the grounds from your hotel room. You can walk down and they have a little sitting area areas. It’s just a really cool place.

Pros: it was a nice size room with nice hardwood floors and tiles. It was nicely decorated and clean. The bed was form and had great pillows. It was next door to a restaurant. There was enough parking and the property was clean. Cons: the water pressure in the bathroom sink and shower was just a trickle (I’m not exaggerating) and was heavily with softener solution in the water. The opening to the shower was tight, and the refrigerator was loud.
