Front desk staff and breakfast attendant were very timely and friendly. Room was exceptionally clean, appears new as of March 2026. Pool and hot tub area thoroughly cleaned and maintained. Wide range of breakfast offerings from sausage and eggs to cereal and waffles. One of the lowest priced options we found and will definitely stay again if the need arises.

The room was very clean, quiet, and comfortable!
The staff were all very nice. The breakfast was nice and
plentiful.
My only complaint is that the milk was sour, and that has been the case in the past. Small item ... for the most part,
this is a great place to stay!
