The staff was friendly and quick, the establishment was clean. The pool was inoperable due to children putting toilet paper in the pool. The hot tub was open so that was enjoyable. I asked for a late checkout and they were kind to extend my checkout by 1 hour. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

This was just okay. The hallway had a terrible odor. The restaurant next door was playing loud music until after midnight. Breakfast was disappointing.
