Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Check in was easy and staff was friendly. Area is not amazing. Pool was not as clean as I would have liked. Room was clean except shower floor seemed slimy. Had fridge and microwave which the fridge was a bonus for diabetic medicine. Seems newly renovated. For the area I imagine this is the nicer of the hotels but nowhere near the $200+ a night charged. The stairs are harsh and steep, if you are disabled make sure to get bottom floor. Hubby is disabled and we had to cut visit short from stairs. It seems nicer than other hotels in area from outside. There is nothing to do in that town so we wouldn't stay again. Not worth the rate charged by far.

LVP floors dirty, A mom would help!
Floors are always a problem. My husband wore white sock, they were very dirty after a few hours. I always were my flip flops, never barefoot. We did share this with management. This is our usual stop.
