Lydia

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property was decent. Pool appeared clean. There was coin laundry for guests. Unfortunately the room was dirty- sheets with stains and towels appeared dirty as well. The faucet to the tub shot off the wall during my shower due to being improperly installed thereby leaving the shower unusable. Issues brought up to management and no maintenance available and no alternative room available for the night. Overall, cannot recommend this property at this time.

The room was an older remodel but clean and comfortable. No complaints about the room, I was expecting clean and not the ritz. The room key de-activated 3 of the 5 days I stayed there this trip and I do not know why. I have stayed here 4 times, I keep coming back so it must be good.

While linens were presented as clean and looked and felt as such, they are stained-rust, dirt, oil. Some lifetime maintenance was needed. Grout in the bath area missing. Bathtub pipe was loose in the wall. Poor caulking around tub. In general this is a nice older facility. Staff was impeccable, always with a quick courteous acknowledgement and helpful. Breakfast area was always clean (as is with most all the property) with food well stocked, fresh and hot.

Breakfast served was nice, hot, and fresh daily. Plenty of places to eat near by. Gas station and freeways within close proximities. This was a very convenient location.
