"This was our second stay, and it was actually better than the first. Check-in was quick and easy and the room was very clean, well appointed, and very roomy. The $8.00 breakfast is an excellent value, but with limited seating, be prepared to wait for a table during morning rush hour. Pool are is well maintained, I observed someone cleaning the pool, the hot tub, and surrounding lounging areas around the pool."
