The Americana Village

8/10 Good

"This room was great for the price. We didn’t take advantage of the pool or the breakfast. Came up for one night for a concert. It was warm and they do not have A/C. Thought there was no way we could sleep but the 2 fans did the trick. We couldn’t open the window and that most likely would have made a huge difference. It’s still a solid 4. Little kitchenette with a fridge and freezer. Easy check in, nice staff."
