Was pleasantly surprise how clean and fresh the rooms look. There was ample size in my room to move around and be comfortable and the bathroom was quite large. We had a trailer with us so it was nice we could park out on the road but park in a spot that I could see it from our room.

Beware of first impressions.
The room was clean and comfortable. On a very hot day the air conditioner was more than up to the job. First impressions, I wondered what I was going to experience. Old car wreck in parking space on jack. Gardens were in need of loving care. But.. on entering the room we were impressed. So loved having the block out blind on such a hot day/night. Overall a wonderful but short stay.

We are impressed with the freshness and apparent upgrade of the unit. It is obvious the managers took pride in the presentation of their rooms and they were very friendly and obliging with their service. Improvement can be made by upgrading the sliding door that was hard to open and to fasten the loose toilet seat.
