Parking was easy and was able to park close to room. Room was clean, although it had a moderate musty smell. The pool area was clean and nice, but the lighting was very dark. The breakfast was good, but there was no butter for toast or waffles. The coffee was very good! They did not have plain creamer available, only hazelnut and french vanilla.
