Over all the stay was great. Easy check in, room was looks new, beds were soft. The pool was nice. The bed blankets looked a little used like they had spots that had been bleached. The breaker tripped during out stay and we lost power but staff quickly got it settled. Overall it was great stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was spotless. The bed was very comfortable. The pool area was clean. There's a gas station across the road to grab coffee and snacks; no coffee makers in the room. No outside "road" noise but you will hear your neighbors easily...tv, bathroom doors, room doors, voices, etc. Recommend bringing an extra fan for noise masking. Some of our bathroom towels were torn and most were very thin. This is a clean, no frills place.
