Misleading

The pictures are VERY misleading. This place is EXTREMELY out of date… I felt like I had time warped back into the early 80s. I was not happy at all

I honestly don’t like leaving bad reviews, but here i am, and in all honesty it’s not a bad review, just honest. The employees were great, and all around nice, the breakfast was great as well. The outside of the property is nice, and clean, the inside is very outdated for the price they charge. The rooms are very outdated, and if you look around, it’s gross. The upkeep on the rooms needs to be improved. Besides that the place is a good place all around.

Sept 2025 family trip with in-laws

We had a great visit. I think if anything we could hear everything at night. Kind of low water pressure for the shower and toilet flush pressure. Loved everything though.

Simple but nice

Would’ve stayed longer if we could have; the rooms are decent. Clean, AC gets cold fast. Beds were comfortable and the pillows were heavy and soft (faux down feather?? I assume). Downstairs is a pools,kiddie pool and a hot tub. The pools are pretty small but we had no issue with it and had a nice time swimming. Close to trolly stops. We were mostly in the room at night but we enjoyed the stay. We would come again.
