Not bad, room was a little bit dark. Need more lighting. Room was clean, pool was nice. Breakfast okay, only one hot item which was pancakes. I’d probably stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Very affordable and clean option for a short stay. Check in was pleasant and quick. They gave us cold bottles of water, which was very nice as it was extremely hot. Furniture is older, but it was comfortable. There is a nice swimming pool and spa tub outside. Breakfast is minimal and carb heavy, but if you’re ok with a bagel and fruit, it’s perfect. They have pancake machines as well, only protein was hard boiled eggs. We have stayed 2x after a hard day at CP and will stay again when we visit the area.
