Nice bed and room. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. After a day outside in 98-degree weather, we were looking forward to a nice swim in your pool. However, the air conditioner was not working in the pool area, and the pool room was overwhelming HOT!!

Skip this Hotel, find better.

With the beat up conditions of the rooms to the amenities not properly working, we will not be staying here again. Although we were told the hotel is only 10 years old, many things were wore out and broken, including our bathroom door. The lady at the front desk was nice and tried to be helpful, but that still wouldn't be a reason to stay here.
