When i booked the site said breakfas t included, but it did not. The site also said restaurant was on site. There was none. Also i booked this site due to having a pool and hottub. Went to use the hottub, but it was totally cold. The wife complained that the room smelled and that the TV was way to small. Was not happy.

It has roaches, the building was run down, and the room smelled like pee. They have mold and I am honestly shocked they allow anyone to stay here. The only thing good about the property is the large pool and they strong jacuzzi. But the hotel itself needs a code inspector to come in and see if it is even safe for ppl to stay there.

Chill spot for a nights stay, in-n-out is close by and a few grocery options. Is it the nicest place I’ve ever stayed? No.. but it’s chilll for a quick Layover or needed stay. I’d pop in again, room was clean. No complaints.
