Property was recently renovated and very tastefully done. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the outdoor area and the mini golf. The kitchenette in our room was stocked with pretty everything you could need, minus a kettle. The only complaint we really had was that the floors were filthy, recommend bringing some slippers.

They don't have mini golf or bumper boats on site. It is across the street. But you do get to play mini golf for free with your room key. Rooms are nice, but have an old smell of cigarettes, like the room was a smoking room in the 80's and 90's.
