While the picture of the living room area was accurate, the bedroom picture bore no semblance to the actual bedroom and its furniture. The bed was somewhere between full and queen in size, but closer to full. The mattress was by far the worst mattress I've slept on since my college days."

"The staff was very kind and accommodating. Our room smelled fresh and beds very comfortable with 4 large pillows each bed. LVP flooring so no nasty carpet. Continental breakfast was very good and it included sausage daily and eggs until they ran out. The only negative is our refrigerator kept going in and out cooling, but we had coolers so it was ok. We didn’t use the heated indoor pool, and the guest washer/dryer feature room was not available. I would definitely stay there again. We felt safe."
