"Stayed one night during a holiday weekend. Staff was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I had expected this property to look and feel run down than it actually, but it's a beautifully maintained property with nice clean rooms. We were pleasantly surprised. We would definitely consider staying here again. We liked the little pool area and that out room had a balcony. Great value for the price."
