The place was very nice. We enjoyed the pool. The next morning we discovered we had no hot water went to the front desk and they said they didn’t know what was wrong. Also, they have breakfast and there were no gluten-free options. I know it can be hard, but just fruit or yogurt would’ve been nice. Kind of expected some refund for no hot water, but nothing was offered.

The good: very good price, the owner seems to take pride in the property, pool, food available in AM, room amenities. The not-so-good: Dated, ii that matters to you (doesn’t to us) The terrible: Irwin, the incredibly rude morning desk clerk. If it weren’t for Irwin, this would be 5 star. This was a great location and it is evident that the owner takes pride in this location. I was so surprised at jow much this spot had to offer—unexpected! The rooms are comfortable and the person who checked us in was kind and took the time yo show us around. There is an indoor pool which looked great, laundry room, vending machines, ice, and a sliding door in the downstairs units that you can use to bring in your luggage. Your main locked door is an inside unit. Aside from the horribly rude man in the AM who unfortunately changed our mind on staying a second night, it was great. The owner needs to fire Irwin, the morning desk worker, or the owner will lose more business than just ours.
