In a good location but the property is very old and in need of serious repairs and updating. Seems more like a place collage kids would hangout at on spring break.

The Manager, Celeste, was exceptional! She took our many requests, and went above and beyond to help us. She was always kind, polite, and extra nice to the kids, even giving them little notebooks and pens.

Bare minimum place to sleep
Breakfast was skimpy. There is no pool. There is a hot tub, but guests were in there drinking bottled alcohol, and talking nonsense to my grandchildren. When we checked out, nobody was at the front desk. We left the keys, and still haven’t been emailed an invoice
