NO REAL CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST. No juice, donuts all gone (ants in the empty box), nothing but two choices of cereal NOTHING but a bunch of bananas, lol
Family run - the owner was nice enough. Rooms do not look like the photos. Everything was just kind of dirty. Water doesn't get hot for showers - luke warm at best. It's okay if you are just looking for a place to sleep. I didn't feel like I could leave things in my car overnight. A lot of weird people walking around the area throughout the time there.
The air was not on when we got there and it was hot and smelled terrible. There was pubic hair in the bathtub, the flooring had had water damage and not replace, the pool was still covered and not in use not that I was there to swim by any means but it is June and hot outside. The breakfast was white or wheat toast, two cereal options, cinnamon or hostess cupcake in packages- not anything like it looked online. I booked for two night but checked out after one night at 6:45 am. I was a nervous wreck all night. Nothing like I expected. Tried to get a refund for the second night that we didn't set for but you said no.
