Nice little place on busy road

Nice place, decent rooms and made reasonable accommodations to our needs coming in late and switching rooms mid-trip. The heated outdoor pool was nice, very warm at first but we were able to adjust that easily enough. Rooms were clean, mattresses were a bit thin, not super comfortable, but sufficient.
