The mattress was awful! It had more rolls than Texas Roadhouse. It took minutes for the bathroom light to come on. The floors were wobbly. Burn marks on the nightstand. The rooms really need to be updated

This place needs to be clean. He needs a lot of maintenance around the property. I stayed in a non-smoking room and it smelled more like it was a smoking room not too clean. Neither was the property. It needs a lot of maintenance to be clean. I will never come back to this place.

A nice clean place for the price. Was a great room. The only downfall was I was by the pool and the kids were loud, but kids were being kids so can’t complain. At least they were off of phone screens and video games

Reasonably priced for being last minute. Room was clean. Towels and sheets were white and bleached. Luggage rack was available. Excellent staff, very helpful and friendly. Just keep in mind Security was onsite. Good experience overall if it's just for a hot shower and a clean bed.

It’s a safe place to be for the short term. The worst thing about this place is that the beds are no where close to being supportive. It kinda feels like they’re using mattresses that have been used beyond their lifetimes and makes for an uncomfortable sleep.
