The only thing I didn’t like about the property that they don’t have elevators or the luggage cart where you can pull your luggage up we stayed on the second floor. My husband has sciatic nerve problems, so that was the only negative part about it but other than that, we love to stay the AC Amenities everything.

The room was spotless. The bed was very comfortable. The pool area was clean. There's a gas station across the road to grab coffee and snacks; no coffee makers in the room. No outside "road" noise but you will hear your neighbors easily...tv, bathroom doors, room doors, voices, etc. Recommend bringing an extra fan for noise masking. Some of our bathroom towels were torn and most were very thin. This is a clean, no frills place.

Very disappointed with the bed. Every time one turns the bed squeaks and makes too many noises. The mattress was horrible because it would sync you in. The towels were horrible because you felt like you were drying yourself up with a scrub brush.
