The shower is the hottest I've ever had in a hotel! It's awesome! The only negative is some of the grassy areas have sand burrs and there's a car dealership next to them that takes a lot of the parking spots. Other than that, the breakfast is very good, staff are great, and it's extremely reasonably priced for the product.

1st night I checked in TV didn’t work so it was switched out. The 2nd night the new tv didn’t work again so they had to call someone. The knob to turn the shower on had so much rust behind it I was afraid if I pulled the handle it would fall off. There was a slow water stream from the tub faucet that couldn’t be shut off. Was going to use the ironing board but the cover had so many stains on it I was afraid my shirt would be ruined. There was plaster on the wall from holes that were covered. I was definitely not impressed and will not choose this hotel for future trips.
