Great Value - best no frills experience!!!
Loved the check-in they sent me a code to use on the hotel room door, no need to stop into the office. Bed is comfortable, pillows are comfortable too, room is clean and shower has great pressure - what else can you ask for from a sub $100 / night room? Indoor pool a bonus for the kids!

One day/night stay
Outdated Inn but ok place if you intend to sleep for one night. Big pool with a big hot tub that has a very powerful water jets. Would be nice if they will renovate the place most especially the pool area. Lots of potential.
