“In my opinion, while the staff's friendliness and the well-maintained grounds are definite highlights, potential guests should be aware that some rooms need updating and that smoking is permitted in common areas; also note that some past visitors have pointed out maintenance issues in the rooms and expressed concerns about the cleanliness of the pool. I think this property is a decent option for budget-conscious travelers, but improvements are needed.”
