Run down. Paint chipping all over room. Shower was dirty and rusty. Didnt use it. Hair all over the walls in the bathroom. There has been no updating on this property in decades. Pool was dirty. Free breakfast was toast and yogurt. Would never stay there again. Felt itchy the entire one night stay. Slept in our clothes. The entire area is not family friendly. Pictures are deceiving.
