This place sucks! The property owner clearly doesn't care about his business or clientel. The room was dirty. The facilities obviously have not been painted. The hot tub was lukewarm at best. The television options were dismal.There were only 15 ish channels and all sucked.

We checked in after hours and reception very clearly told me that they would probably hear complaints from downstairs because we were most likely going to be noisy, since I had a 10 and 16 year old with me. He said he didn’t mean to be rude, as if excusing his assumption that we would be loud. However, there is no choice but to make noise because the walls and floors are paper thin. The floors squeak loudly and there is no way to be completely silent. Other than the initial irritation that I’d called ahead of time and cleared our late check in and still met an annoyed receptionist, who I believe is the owner, we had a great stay. He must have just been grumpy because I had him up late, which is understandable, except he made me very comfortable on the phone when I communicated our approximate check in time. S
