The hot tub and swimming pool were really nice. Our room wasn’t very clean though black mold around the window in the walls needed to be cleaned. It was quiet. Enjoyed our stay.

After 9 hours of car travel and arriving just 15 minutes before check in, it was disappointing to find nobody at the front desk. The room had no a/c and opening the window for air granted any passer by a direct view into the room. I actually left and got a room at the Comfort Inn close by.
