As previous reviews mentioned, staff was not friendly. The property needed some upkeep. Area around property poor town. The room was not clean: power in sink. The A/C made a noise while running. The sheets were polyester. The smell of cleaning supplies. Some of these things are personal preference. I was deeply disappointed in the 'wonderful" I was expecting.

The kids loved the huge room, a converted conference room. Perfect for our group of 4 adults and 3 energetic boys. The only down side was, we couldnt get it to warm up past 62 degrees. But we loved everything else and would definitely stay here again.
