Comfy overnight stay

Bed were comfy, two queen room was huge, all rooms had a patio which was nice but the chairs were wet and our upstairs neighbor hung their clothes on the railing which caused the floor to be wet. But it was perfect for an over might stop!

Don’t expect maid service

I stayed for two nights the second day after coming back from working hard I expected clean sheets on my bed and clean towels in the bathroom, but that did not happen. I had to go get towels from the front office and coffee for my room for the next morning, which would’ve been my last day there. I was informed that I would have to stay at least three full nights in order to get any kind of made service whatsoever so if you’re going for two nights, you better make sure you have enough towels and enough coffee in your room because you will not get made service. Very disappointed with that. If I would’ve had made service, the scores would’ve been a lot better.
