Pool was out of service, hot tub was pretty much the same! Light switch in bathroom faulty electrical loose in wall and had to wiggle switch to get to work! Toilet was a rocking chair and beer caps on the floor beside the bed from previous guest. All the issues with this stay I was pleasantly surprised on how comfortable the bed was. Not very much for a breakfast option but they had something!

Pools broken even though its advertised on the sign out side. Couldn't use hot tub because they had not checked chemicals. Rooms are old and WELL used. Furniture kind of dirty and decrepit. Carpets dirty. I put my shoes on to walk from bed to bathroom. Would not walk in the room without my shoes My wife wouldnt sleep in the bed. She put her sleeping bag on top and slept in that. Bathroom floor trim falling off and mold in behind it.

DON'T DO IT!!! Oh it was a HORRIBLE place (think flop house) and I felt terrible for even taking my family there. If it hadn't been so late we would have left. It's dirty, stank like cigarettes and dogs, and noisy. Boogers (or something) on the walls, filthy mattress, bathroom too disgusting to shower in. I didn't even take my shoes off because I didn't know how filthy the carpet was. We didn't do the breakfast because after the state of the room I didn't even trust the cereal they probably had. The pool and hot tub were too disgusting to use. The only thing positive was that the staff was friendly.
