10/10 Exceptional

The pool and hot tub needed a good clean, there was scum at the waterline on the pool tiles and the area smelled strongly of chlorine, not always a good thing. Since the pool area does get a high load of activity and no showers were available to "rinse off" before going in it means there is a higher risk of the cholrine not "keeping up" resulting in cloudy water. The jets in the jacuzzi were broken. The remote was not responsive on the TV and we had to figure out how to get the tv to respond with several features not working. The beds were very comfortable, room spacious and clean, towels were fresh. The breakfast is the best feature of this stay as well as it's proximity to the highway. Additionally, it was nice it allowed pets.

I had 2 rooms for my stay and both rooms were clean and looked great. The front desk staff and the lady cleaning the kitchen area were sweet, patient, and courteous. My family loved the breakfast options both days. My children used the pool but they didn’t stay in long. Overall, we loved it!
