It was very family friendly. The amenities were wonderful. Hot tub and heated pool was wonderful! Entertainment was a wonderful surprise. Didn’t realize they had free bike rental. Next time I will take advantage of it. The rooms were nice but unfortunately our air conditioner was held together with clear tape. Other than that it was a wonderful stay.

The property is an old-style motel. Car parking was Infront of the room with room entry directly onto the parking area. The bathroom was small and dated, with a very small shower. The sinking was in the room, not the bathroom. I would venture to say this motel is somewhat run down.
