We’ve been coming to this place for over 25 years. We come back for the indoor pool. Appreciate the recent upgrades of laminate flooring. Also enjoy that it’s pet friendly and that they have a large open space to walk pets. Definitely coming back!

Do not go if you want comfort

horrible stay. when we got into our room there was no where to put our clothes except for 5 hangers and a shelf that was very small....there was no luggage stand, no drawers we were a family of 3 for a 3 night stay had to leave our clothes in our suitcase never have i had to do that. then when i did ho to put my daughter clothes on shelve i noticed it was grainy so inpulled out the wipes and oh my gosh none of the surfaces had been wiped down. there was a phone in room but no lines connected to it. there was no AC it had a slow moving fan and it was muggy.the first morning after i went to front because on web site it says they have english breakfast for a charge that was a lie. they had no breakfast. then the 2nd day we were they we had went out for the day and when we got back the power had been out all day and the motel didnt even have the decency to contact us and let us no so the milk we had in fridge was warm.The hot tub was a joke it fit 3 people if that.
