7.6/10 Good! (3,289 reviews)

The property really needs a lot of upgrades. The carpet in the room looked like it was at least 30 years old very dingy, dirty and smelly. Was a great location however, the quality of the facility was lackluster.

We had a great time. Gabe at the pool was awesome! He is a real go getter. I wish the pool had been warmer, it was a bit cold for me. The vibe was great and loved the DJ music!
