Janeale, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Decent place

There were some stains on headboard and in bathroom that could’ve been coffee splashes. One headboard was so and/or had sun damage that it was peeling. Toilet was so low it reminded me of elementary school. However, the staff was wonderful and the breakfast buffett was delicious. Safe place to stay and park. Wonderful Mexican restaurant next door with great food and customer service.

6/10 Good

The pool area was fantastic. Our room on the other hand was not. The bath drain was so plugged up we each ended up showering with dirty water building up over our ankles. The front desk check out was not as pleasant as the check in. A simple good morning and how was your stay goes a long way.
