Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Everything about this place was fun. It was clean. The staff were great and I highly recommend it. My mother-in-law might even want to book a whole family reunion there.
Pros: it was a nice size room with nice hardwood floors and tiles. It was nicely decorated and clean. The bed was form and had great pillows. It was next door to a restaurant. There was enough parking and the property was clean.
Cons: the water pressure in the bathroom sink and shower was just a trickle (I’m not exaggerating) and was heavily with softener solution in the water. The opening to the shower was tight, and the refrigerator was loud.
