Sun Outdoors Lake Rudolph

8/10 Good

"The rooms were pretty clean. I questioned whether the floor had been mopped. The doors didn’t lock on the bathroom or the bedrooms in our cabin. They don’t furnish towels or bedding. The fitted sheet that they do, furnish, would not stay on the bed it was so cheap and had no elasticity to it. Otherwise, the grounds were clean and we enjoyed our time there. Maybe be slightly overpriced though for the cottages."
