Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We stayed two nights and the shower smelt like sewage.. The hot tub also was disappointing as it was green and when the jets came on it overflowed with foam ( also had a moldy smell). It was also moldy in between the pool area and the wall. The property was nice but these items need attending too.

While the room was acceptably clean, we were given only two towels for three nights stay. The bed was only slightly softer than the floor (yes I compared the two and almost chose the floor over the bed). The bed was so bad, my wife and I canceled the third day of our trip and drove home early. The front desk lady was kind about us leaving early and they did refund us the third night, but it was still disappointing. The pool was alright, but dirty. I cannot say that I will ever go back.
