Room was clean but the mattress was deplorable. Like sleeping in a taco shell, no support. Staff was incredibly friendly and polite. Without them our trip would have been miserable.

Got text checking us in, told there’s lockbox with key, front desk open the next day at 8am. Doubt they change the codes to lockboxes so anyone can open and get key to room. And no front desk on a sat? There was a lot of trash around the complex. Back yard, pool. Lots of smokers and wear and tear in the room. Location was good.

Could have been better

The comforter felt unclean, the tub had puddles of water in it when we arrived, they only provided two pillows for the bed, there were rats in the wall that we could hear. Location was good, and it was quiet.
