I had a unique situation where I left a personal item when I left. They contacted housekeeping and got it back to me. I'm not sure everyone would do that. It was really appreciated.

Would recommend lil jo

Fast response from staff. Stayed in the Lil Jo room, it was private and clean. I liked that we could park in the back and be close to our room. The three other queen rooms are close together, I would be upset if I had booked one of the others and been so close to the other couples staying. Could be nice for multiple friends to book together. Glad I made my room choice, though it was just a guess.
