All amenities were closed. We did not get to use the pool as planned and the gym was closed. Also the breakfast we had was pretty bad. We had instant oatmeal and a muffin which we didn’t end up eating.

It’s nice and kind of clean. I didn’t like that I couldn’t sleep all night Friday night because of the college student made noise all night, so so disappointed. Bathroom was not clean.
