Never again. Balcony you use to access the rooms on 2nd floor felt completely unsafe. Floors in the room had so many spongy spots. Rooms were large, and beds were okay, but that was the end of anything decent. Not ONE HOOK to hang coats or towels in the entire room, not even the bathroom. Linoleum floors felt gritty, not a place I'd ever walk around barefoot. No hair dryer, no coffee maker. BARE BONES place, with little to recommend it, other than "cheap".

Our room was nice, beds were clean, bathroom had a lot of space, the air/heating was hard to get it right, did not realize we had to walk outside to get to the pool, then 2 out of 3 nights of our stay there was no towels at the pool and we were warned about stealing towels and to bring them back like we were being accused already. the breakfast was not the best, french toast sticks that were partially hard and soggy at the same time were the only hot options, no yogurt, had orange juice and cereal though and some little muffins that the kids enjoyed.

They did a great job with the decor. It’s just an old building and it’s hard to make something that old look five star. Staff did a great job with the food service, but the company just doesn’t provide the best quality of food. Your breakfast was average, it was acceptable.

Room was pretty outdated. Carpet was very dirty. The air conditioner was blowing out black stuff onto the bed. The parking in the area we were at by door 5 was a bit over crowded but door 4 isn’t far away and parking on the other side is a bit better. The staff was great and very friendly! We stayed on the cedar side and I don’t think that side was updated like the other side. But the bed was comfy a the water pressure was good!

Place was fine. Was near pool. Staff did not close pool at 10:30 pm as the rules stated. Young kid was screaming till after midnight while parents drank in pool area. Talk to night manager about situation and night management told me I should have told them to be quiet as he was busy. No accountability, blamed me for his inaction. Not a fan. The next night they all left at 10:30 pm not sure if someone talked to them or not. Would stay again just bring ear plugs. Breakfast was minimal. Otherwise good experience other than night manager.

Disappointed with this stay. We've been here several times without any issues but this time was different. The room was clean but: - the tv didn't work - the heat/AC unit on the wall wouldn't turn off - the bathroom sink was slow to drain - the coat rack hanging on the wall was in the most inconvenient spot. It was hard to get to one side of the bed without running into it. - the quality/options of the breakfast has declined. I don’t know if this is just a one time occurrence or the new normal. For the money it's still an OK place but if this is what it looks like going forward it's no longer a good value. If we had paid more it would be 1 or 2 stars at most.
