Unfortunately this property has seen better days… It is in desperate need of repairs, updating and refreshing. Inside and outside, it is a very “tired” property.

Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel! Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Pool area was extremely well-kept and hot tub was very nice with an indoor/outdoor area. Slides were fun. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. I really liked how laid-back the atmosphere was. Breakfast was great and the hotel had a small market for snacks/drinks. Very relaxing stay!
