Great value!

The room was larger than anticipated. Each bedroom had an en-suite bathroom, allowing for creased privacy. I am making this location my permanent location to stay when I am in the area.

Just okay, outdated and dirty

Not so good. Everything is outdated, doesn’t work, or is filthy. The shower curtain has mold growing on it, the microwave door handle is broken, the floors are so dirty our feet were black,

First off, the staff call at 10 pm the night before and asked was we coming. I told them yes and we will be there early. Got there at 2:30 was told to come back at 4 pm at check in. Which was fine. I go back at 4 pm and they said my room will be ready by 4:30-5. Mind you check in is at 4pm. So we get to the room at 5 and the room was still not ready. Beds out and not made. Everything was on and all the cabinets was open. So we call the front desk and they sent a supervisor to fix it. She come and straighten the room up but I still don’t feel as it was properly cleaned. So she leave and me and my kids head to the pool for hours. When we get back to the room I went to get a drink from the fridge(which is beside the stove). I could feel the heat hit me. The supervisor had left the stove on at the highest setting. All of our property and even my kids would have been at extreme danger if I didn’t notice the heat. I feel as we should be accommodated in some type of way for these horrible mistakes and how unorganized the staff was.
