Pros (+) Overall, quite comfy.
Cons (-) Structure a bit dated, but ok.
Pros (+) It was nice that there was a pool. The weather was poor so we didn't get to try it, though.
Cons (-) This is very much a motel. The bed wasn't too bad but the toilet wasn't securely seated on the floor and would rock a little bit each time you sat down. The key to the room had to be really pushed into the lock or it didn't work properly (we had to get the guy at the front desk to help us when we first arrived).
