10/10 Excellent
"The staff were very kind, keeping that in mind the hotel needs extensive renovations and cleaning. It was sufficient for the inexpensive price that we paid but do not expect any housekeeping because they pass right by your room. The pool and hot tub were relaxing but were also in need of a good cleaning and some maintenance. Overall I would recommend this hotel for the inexpensive cost and the ability to bring your dog but not much else."
