Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Apparently it’s on their website that the pool isn’t available but I don’t see that through Expedia so that was the main reason we booked here. The rooms are older and smaller . Heater / air didn’t work in our room when we arrived 45 minutes early and tried to check in . If we wanted a working room we had to wait but we have 4 kids under 8 year old so that was unfortunate.

The room was great very clean. I just didn’t like all the tweekers outside when I first was checking in. One of them approached my boyfriend’s daughter which is only 15 years old. Then he signaled out to some other guys that were riding around on bikes. Once we got inside it was nice. But it was the whole walking inside to the property that was not a good experience.
