A reasonably well run facility with obvious on going updates. More attention is needed on maintenance upkeep and site security. Cameras and increased lighting could help. Site and directional signage would also be helpful.

We had to wait over 4 hours for an iron. We had an ADA person with us BUT the room we booked was on the second floor there was no elevator to the room. Some small things were missing from our room. Someone also went into the room without permission.

Great NB Option

This hotel is perfect for the cost. The rooms are a bit smaller, but they are clean and comfortable. Pool is great, parking ample, and breakfast is good enough. Stay here with confidence. This is better than the average star reviews posted.
