Front office is beautiful but deceiving. Room was ok, but floor and sheets seemed to be dirty. Found hairs and a few stains on sheets. Floor seemed to not have been mopped in weeks. Pool was closed, which was a main reason we stayed. Parking was good, maybe not a full night... breakfast wasn't worth looking. We got there early and almost everything was in a container, and milk and juices were empty with no one in sight to request.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Pool dirty with fences in common area, trash cans filled across entire property and never emptied during 4 day stay. Trash from room never emptied and toilet paper not stocked and empty tissue paper box. Bathroom floor blacked the floor towel and kids socks immediately turned black from dirty hard floors. On a positive note got to see our first Bear from their trash problem. Also very minimal breakfast. Only one chair for a family suite.
