The room served its purpose. Beds, tv with Netflix & YouTube.
These beds are really firm, it felt like I was laying on a thin foam pad on hardwood floor.

4/10 Fair
Ghetto, loud, not enough parking, feels unsafe, room was clean, tv worked well, when most ppl left in the morning it was way better and the guy at the front desk let us stay until 3pm for $50, so we went to the indoor pool which was very clean and we enjoyed ourselves. But the nightlife at yhis place is wild. Lots of police, like 10 cop cars pulled up when we were checking in with thr virtual guy.

It was raining cats and dogs so we didnt expect to use outdoor amenities but the night manager was very nice and upgraded our room. The place was spotless and smelled great. We had a great nights sleep.
Thank you again.

Family trip, celebrating a birthday. The room was nice and spacious. The bathroom door did not close correctly and the TV controller did not work the first night. We love the indoor pool, spa, and the korn hole game. The second night, the family above us was super noisy. The kids seemed to be running and jumping around. It was hard to sleep.

Eh, do away with the kiosk.
Weird having to check-in at a Kiosk with someone on a video call, that was obviously in another country. Only the kiosk was available because the lobby was deserted and locked. We arrived at 2:30 in the afternoon with check-in at 3pm. A live person didnt show up until around 4.

I got this room because it has a kitchen but there were no pots, pans, plates, silverware or anything else that a kitchen needs. I asked the front desk about it and was told it was on the website but I never would have thought to check for something like that so I'm letting everyone know that the kitchen is useless unless you bring your own stuff. The room was clean enough, its nothing fancy but its a good location and the front desk was helpful and professional

Would not stay here!
Run down room, sheets were filthy and stained, floors & walls were filthy. Strange smell entire visit. Sewage repair occurring in other units. Parking was tight. Check in was fast. WiFi was average. Not a place I would ever stay in again.

Needed a room for the night. Stayed for the amenit
We stayed here because of the amenities. The putting green was great, cornhole was fun, the pool was cold, the hot tub was warm but no Jets were working. The beds were hard. We came to town for a doctor's appointment. It was good for just overnight and conveniently located close to our doctor's office. We would stay again for our next appointment.
