Liked: It was clean-ish. With a kitchen. Lots of space. And check in at night was weird but possible Disliked: In the morning before the check out stuff came twice while we were still in bed. No nocking, just opening the door with their own key. Also, pretty worn out

The hotel was a perfect spot to access Big Pine Lakes Trail. Liked: We liked the set up of the room and comfort of the beds. Disliked: The shower drain appeared to have backflow after use. The AC had trouble keeping the room cool. I recommend keeping the AC set at temp of 65 all day for room 15.

A good place for families needing amenities such as kitchen and multiple beds but not expecting perfection. Liked: Location, amenities Disliked: Beds are not as comfortable as I’d like. My bed felt like it was “higher” at my feet than at my head.

Liked: Big room and nice shower Disliked: They don't ask to see i.d. I think that's dangerous. Anyone could come in and murder someone under a fake name!!! Idk why but they had a massive mirror which was hideous. Bathroom window was unlocked. Less than half a roll of toilet paper was in there. No
