While the outside is old and interesting. We found our room to be very clean. No hairdryer and no hooks to hang towels. Otherwise, a decent place to stay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Tha pool was amazing. The rooms were nice. But the chairs were peeling. And there were no bedding for the pull out sofa. But all n all we will book it again.
The room was amazing, the new management is dedicated to giving quality service. The newly remodeled rooms are amazing and the pool is family friendly.
Only had one light. Lamp not plugged in due to no outlets. Also no accessible for having to plug in devices or sleep aids. Toilet seat was cracked. Floors dingy and dirty. Sheets dingy. Way overpriced for room and amenities. Pool looked nice. Reminded me of a cheap roach/budget motel room. Definitely not “resort/palace” worthy. Save your money and do an Air B and B. Also have a “NO REFUND” sign so as soon as your checked in your out of your money.
