Great stay
Really great place. Clean.
The only drawbacks were the gross disgusting smokers who stayed there.... Depositing their butts right on the ground.
Also, would suggest maybe limiting pool to only guests that are staying there, not inviting their whole extended family. Kids should also be supervised to use the pool

Neat, tidy and reasonable!
Although the room was small, it was well appointed and immaculate. They even brought back the shower curtain after washing it!

Left 4 hours later
There was blood on the baseboards and wall, I didn’t take pictures of the blood because I was freaked out and we left, the carpet was torn up, the wall was torn up. It was super run down. The hotel front desk person was a cubicle behind bulletproof glass and they would only let one person in the office at a time and it was just odd. We left before we even stayed the night because it just did not feel safe and it was gross.

The rooms and pool look nothing like what’s advertised. There was black stuff all over the bathroom door. One bed tilted towards the head, not very comfortable. We were there for a baseball tournament and we ended up leaving early. And checking into a different place.

DO. NOT. BOOK. HERE. Unless you want to risk sleeping on bed bugs, don't stay here. I checked in and immediately checked out. Incredibly sketch, not clean, not livable.

The cabin was old and worn. There were dancing in the walls and it was very tiny.
