Our room was clean, but the decor was dated. There was too much in the room which made it feel very crowded. My kids used the pool. They didn't stay long stating it did not seem very clean (older kids, I didn't see it). It served our needs of a place to stay for one night, but it would not be my choice for a extended stay.
