Excellent staff, wonderful family stay. Room could be fixed up a bit, mould on bathroom ceiling, damaged wallpaper but the hotel is perfect for families. Nice pool and common area.

Overall another decent stay. This hotel was much more centrally located and I was able to quickly go out to get some food items.
As with other stays, breakfast included.
Rooms are nice and clean.
Nearby you can find a walmart. A superstore and lots of fast food offerings. This location also has a restaurant right outside which makes that a convenient option.
