The room was great but the fact that the hot tub was boarded up and the pool was so dirty that I couldn’t see the bottom was extremely distasteful.

Staff here was amazing. Great customer service in a time when many companies offer none. Nice roomy room. I love they have the steaming apps on the tv but they need prime! We had a great dinner in their restaurant!
