Clean, quiet room. The balcony was nice so we could let in the fresh air. Alittle older hotel but nicely kept up. We will stay here in the future. Can’t give it 5 stars only because although it was a nice room it wasn’t anything special. And the tv channel choices were limited and picture quality isn’t great. But when you’re on vacation you aren’t there for tv but for the adventures.
Carpeting was clean
Space is sufficient.
