8/10 Good
"The property had a nice common area near the pool for gatherings. The rooms were large and large upgraded shower. The TV had local channels and was a smart TV for use of Netflix and other streaming apps. We didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the breakfast although it was available. I would stay there again and recommend it to friends."

"The hot tub was working and excellent! The swimming pool needed maintenance because of a recent storm. It was open, but we didn’t choose to swim. The staff was wonderful and our room was very spacious and the shower was good. In all, I would stay again if I ever pass this way. I did not like that we had to pay for parking when there were hardly any cars! They need to quit asking for parking expenses!"
