The hotel room was clean. The staff was friendly and super helpful. The breakfast was standard. We are organic food, alternative milk kind of eaters, so we understand that our preference is hard to accommodate. The pool and gym was older and they connected into people's rooms, which was different. They had games in the lobby and a fire pit which was nice. I think for the 80$ a night price, its a fare deal.

Decor was cute and room was fairly clean. However the amenities and certain items such as the toilet are old and need replacing. The tv was small and needs upgrading. The channels kept losing signal all night. The breakfast... was really sad! Hands down ghe worst fake eggs I've ever had and my bar for fake eggs is very low.
