It was a clean bed and shower. There was a fridge but no microwave. Close to the highway so it's a little noisy. The heater worked well but the windows are leaky so it turns on a lot. It was okay for an economical stop.

It was fine. Some rooms aren’t accessible without stairs, so bringing bags and cooler wasn’t as easy. It’s kind of a maze in some parts. But the pool and hot tub made up for that!
