The carpet was dirty, leaving my feet dirty after walking around the room. The water temperature was hot on all settings in the shower. There was hair on the towels and blankets. The room was constantly humid. However the staff was super friendly. The overall hotel was clean.

The breakfast was amazing. Hotel was good for the price, close to everything. It was cool this weekend. The indoor pool was a nice size, but was too cold to enjoy even though they ‘checked’ it and said it was good to go. The beds were very firm. It was clean and quiet.
