"The woman at the desk 4pm 3/11/23 was wonderful. Water pressure was weak like other reviews said but nothing I would be a “Karen” about. The kiddos enjoyed the pool. We stayed one night but I would book again for sure! "

GGuest UserToilet has not been cleaned, coffee pot wasn’t rinsed, and wash cloths were damp but overall it was a nice big modern room, very clean and organized. We did request an early check in which as nicely received and accommodated… we will stay here again. Front desk both day and night were very kind and pleasant, which we appreciated also. Couldn’t beat the rate, we were on a tight budget and I was worried it would be a nightmare but it was a great stay and we were really glad with the choice!
