No pool!!
We didn't find out till we got there that the pool was closed. There was a padlock on the door and it looks like it hasn't been open in awhile. I wouldn't of stayed there knowing the pool was shut down.

The location was great for me. The staff was nice. The pool was clean, had to ask for pool towels, but that's Okay. The hallway carpet was old and dirty looking. Wish they had a little more breakfast foods.
