Great value. It’s an older place but well kept. Comfortable firm bed. Clean open pool. Free convenient parking. Friendly staff. The breakfast included makes this place overall a great deal. Areas that you could improve are softer thicker towels, more complementary soap, and whoever is the maintenance guy needs to stop being lazy and tape off areas before painting or using caulking (yes I notice those things because I do those things right when I do it). I would stay here again and would recommend it for family and causal getaways. The small details make it short of a romantic level place but the general customers and family trips will love the value.
