An older hotel. Free breakfast was toast, bagels or cereal. The pool was out of service which was one of the main reasons for booking that room.

I picked this place because it advertised an amazing pool, hot tub and center park with grills and tables. The pool had been closed for months, no full breakfast meal during the week and the toilet in my room didn’t work. The place looks great and has an amazing idea just needs to take better care and not lie on-line. Cheers! B

Some pretty scummy people hanging out in and around the place. Exterior doors weren't locked, pool out of service and key cards didn't work. I think there are people who live there long term.
