Clean, safe and friendly staff

This hotel is near all the activity and offers clean, comfortable rooms. The front office staff is delightful. Our room was located around the back with parking directly in front of our room. It was a very safe location. Great stay!

Beds very very firm

Attending a conference just down the highway so this was just a one night stay. Super clean. Love the updated room. Staff were friendly and helpful in every respect. I’m gluten and dairy sensitive so having eggs and potatoes available for breakfast was nice, although seating was ridiculous. Took my food to room. Bed was very firm with no foam topper of any kind. Hard on my hips. Got a good value on hotels.com or I wouldn’t have even considered this hotel.

We booked this motel because of the pool and it did not disappoint. It was like a big bathtub because the water was so warm it was amazing! The WiFi worked amazing, front desk staff was amazing, one of the people cleaning almost growled at us, no smile, no good morning nothing but she was the exception. Rooms were clean, my bed in a two queen was comfortable although the pillows were terrible and the quality of the linens wasn’t there for the price per night. The other mattress needs replace as our son fell off in the middle of the night because the side is so broken down. Location is great. We loved that we could see forever far from the top floor and at night you could see all the lights so that was cool. We got $20 to spend in the gift shop so our son loved that. This has the potential to be an amazing place to stay with just a few upgrades.

KATRINA

Disliked: Amenities
Unfortunately we were not impressed at all by the property like we thought. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and we contemplated ending our trip early because my family of three couldn’t get sleep due to noise from the pool and there had to be 50 minimum of motorcyclist in the pool from Friday to Sunday and we couldn’t get in until Sunday night and the pool had large patches of floating hair and trash in the pool. I’m just really upset we spent $300ish that we work hard for but don’t have anything positive to say at this time.

Nicole

Liked: Cleanliness
Cute concept, but lacking some basic needs that would improve the overall satisfaction for future stays. I will start by saying our room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. We were placed in a handicapped-accessible room; I'm not sure why. There were only a few other couples there at the same time we were. There were about 3 days that we were the only car in the parking lot, and it felt a little creepy. There was a gap in the door where you could see light from outside and feel cool air. There was no coffee maker in the room as advertised. The "breakfast" area is severely lacking and is in an outside hallway. There was no housekeeping. We had to go down daily to get clean towels and washcloths, and toilet paper when needed. I went to the lobby one evening to obtain clean towels and washcloths. There was no one working, only the employee's young son (maybe 6 years old) sitting alone in the lobby. He told me his mommy was downstairs. I waited about 15 minutes and finally went back to my room. I went down an hour later, and she still wasn't there, her son said, my mom hasn't come back yet. I was told the next morning she was likely downstairs doing laundry; however, they had to go find clean linens for us. The staff that were there were nice and friendly. The morning of check-out, we left around 7 am, and thought we'd grab some breakfast items to take on the road. The lobby was dark and closed.
