Close to park. Nice pool. Room was nice sized, but the bathroom was older and a little bit icky. There was a dehumidifier in the room and the air conditioner and between the two of them they were very noisy. I thought the price was high for what it was.

Take Care of the Little Stuff

We like staying at River Breeze, but the water drains slowly when taking a shower. Also the edge of the rug curled up and was a trip hazard.
