It was pretty much just a bed for the night. The owners were really noisy outside of the room until midnight, that was annoying after a 7 hour drive.

Room was clean and sparkling. Needs a queen instead of a double bed though. Disappointed that the pool was out of order after an 8 hour drive and 38 degrees. It was slightly green - it’s the middle of summer, you would have thought pool maintenance would be up to date.
