Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Areas looked clean and smelled clean. Toiletries and a hair dryer provided. Clean room, comfortable bed & blackout drapes are a nice touch. Pool and hot tub were clean & did not have a strong eye watering effect when you opened the door to the area. Have an adult swim time but they come and tell you that the pool is closed at the time it states on the door. Staff was friendly and helpful and check in went quite fast. Full breakfast is provided, meaning something for everyone. Food was refilled as needed so no waiting or asking for something. Nice that check out is 12:00 noon. Dog friendly for a fee.

I didn’t like the fact that the two night counter ladies weren’t very welcoming. Neither of them were doing anything yet seemed irritated to help me when I walked in. The proceeded to give me two room keys which neither worked.
