Nice place. Quiet. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Clean bathroom. Plenty of towels. Nice pool and outdoor fire pit. Close to restaurants. The cleaning staff needs to vacuum behind the doors and behind the furniture. Not a new hotel, but maintained well.

The next morning the pool was closed which was VERY disappointing for the kids. For the money was disappointed. ...
