The hotel was clean our room had a bit of a musty smell not sure where that was coming from bed comfortable our room faced a senior living facility or they could literally look right into your room. That’s how close it was a free breakfast was not good eggs were much mushy Bacon barely cooked sausage look like it was boiled only blueberry muffins to offer no fruit the first day the pool is only 3 feet deep very small pool. Pictures are deceiving. Definitely not stay there again.
