"It’s a huge facility, and you can tell it gets a lot of use—the rooms are starting to feel a bit worn. That said, the staff was very nice, and it’s a good, basic place for an overnight stay."

"Stained carpets, dirty sofa bed and the bathroom had an odd smell. Other than the cleanliness it was a good stay. The one employee we saw was friendly but no one is ever at the desk. Pool was nice and warm but never any towels and hot tub down."

"The beds were super comfy and the room was great. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast however was less than desirable. When we got there at 8:30 there was only one egg, lots of sausages and no biscuits and gravy. The breakfast area was very dirty."
