Ok

It’s always decent. This time was annoying because they had a wrestling tournament in the area. So of course there were a million kids, super loud, running through hallways, floors everywhere were always soaking wet from everyone running back and forth from pool. Not hotels fault, just annoying.

Hotel room was very poor. Thermostat did not work and room was like a sauna. Electrical outlet cover was broken and partially missing. No toilet paper holder in bathroom. Toilet paper roll setting on bathroom counter. Hole in bathroom wall. Very poor hotel room. Rest of property seemed okay. At least the room was clean.

The hotel was so clean and cozy. The pool/hot tub were very nice (staying open until midnight was a plus). The room was spotless but the beds were rock hard. All in all a very nice place.
