Property and rooms are dated but adequate and clean. Bathroom was quite small. Kids enjoyed the pool and front desk was friendly. We booked because there was an advertised free breakfast....but there isn't. "Breakfast included" means you can purchase a meal at the cafe.

The only reason I am only giving 3 stars overall is because the beds were not comfortable and the wlls were paper thin so we could here the neighbor's tv all night! Otherwise the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The place was clean just outdated. The pool area was nice and the cafe was excellent!

It served it's purpose, bed was clean, room was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. Our room, at least, needed a massive overhaul. Most of the outlets had nothing behind them. If you plugged in a charger, it would just fall out. The one functional outlet we found was charred. 😬 It was very cold during our stay. The display was broken on our hvac unit so we couldn't tell the temp. We put the heat on the lowest setting, within 3 minutes it was suffocating. If you turned the heat off, within 3 minutes we were shivering. We didn't utilize any facilities or eat there so can't comment on that. I just think it needs a massive update
