A clean, well run, well arranged, conveniently located, older property. Nothing modern, but everything you need and everything where it should be. Comfortable beds and the rooms are well accoutremented.

Firmest mattress ever.

It was clean, but the mattress was the firmest I've encountered, and I used to be a bedding manager for AV.

Great place, horrible mattresses.

The location, landscaping, amenities, and pool are awesome. The staff is very kind. The rooms are decent sized and have, microwaves, refrigerators & coffee makers. The only reason they aren't getting a 5 start review is because the beds are the worst we have ever slept on. It's like a cheap matress sitting on plywood. We both struggled for 3 nights straight this trip and 3 nights 4 weeks ago in the jaccuzi room. We gave them a second chance in case it was just one room with a bad mattress. Unfortunately, until they upgrade the mattresses, we won't be back.

The property is a little dated but they have done some things to keep it nice. Room was clean and comfortable. Pool is nice. The breakfast is very limited. Good value.

Customer service

When I checked in on Thursday the clerk was waiting on another family and she did the most amazing job getting their room/reservation straightened out. She was patient and friendly and was great at problem solving. Then it was my turn, she did a fantastic job checking us in, no problems or issues. We’ll definitely stay there again.
