The room was very humid and muggy. So humid that it felt like the sheets were wet. The key cards did not work well.. had to get them redone or get a new key 4 times because we couldn’t get into the room.

Seemed a bit under staffed and took a while to check in and check out. Our shampoo and body wash dispensers were completely out in the shower so we used what we brought. The hair dryer is not in a bag and hangs on the bathroom door handle. Staff nice and very clean facility. Only one washer and one dryer but work well. Quiet and feels safe. Would stay here again.

No ice in ice machine, no hot water, didn’t look like the weeds around the property have been pulled all summer and the carpet in the room was terrible. Definitely not a good first impression when you first walk in the room!
