Really enjoyed our stay. We booked here because we have kids and because of the advertised indoor pool. It was a disappointment that the pool was not heated. But other than that, the property was clean and the staff was very nice. We would return here next time we visit family in the area.

The shower had poor water pressure and the toiletries were not labeled. You couldn't tell what was shampoo, conditioner or body wash. The soap dispenser was too far away from the sink.

Above average decore in the middle of an industrial area. Good value. Has a pool lift. I happen to like the bed that was not so ridiculously high.

We got a room right by the office and could hear the front desk workers and their child talking right outside our door until 2 am. The breakfast was horrible. Seemed like fake eggs, slices of bread, NO types of meats, cereal.
