The putting green needs improvement along with driving range. Dog park fence needs attention and area cleaned of tree debris. Only one elevator was working on a holiday week. Overall had a decent stay.

I picked it for the jacuzzi by the pool. Most other affordable hotels in the area offered free breakfast, they did not. However, I was willing to fore go the breakfast for the jacuzzi. I paid to much for that place. I could’ve got a comparable room for like $180. The pool was closed & all tore up- a mess. No jacuzzi as marketed. Bartender couldn’t make a lemon drop martini. What I hoped to be a relaxing night - was not. . Also., only one elevator was working. No usb/c plug ins in room. No screen on window. It goes on. 🙄
