Nice clean room, conveniently located. Easy to park too. Some friendly staff. Non-fluorescent lights in the rooms would greatly improve the ambience! As would soap in the bathroom. The coffee in the lobby was excellent.

Room & Hotel was great! Definitely a gorgeous setting! Room was perfectly clean! Would definitely recommend the hot tub as pool water heater is currently broken! Also our door would not lock correctly and had to ask staff for help. Overall a good stay, would book again!

The room was good for a multinight stay. It could be cleaner. Minor details to trim and walls should be addressed. Besides that, a good spot to rest your head.

Staff is very nice. Walls are thin and you can hear everything going on outside. My room had no body wash in the dispenser, a fake lash stuck on the floor and the TV wouldn’t turn on. Luckily, I just needed a place to crash for a few hours.

We had a nice stay, quiet and clean. Pool is not heated but hot tub was hot and clean. The surrounding area is not safe and highly trafficked. Parking was small and had limited space. Gave free coffee, fruit drinks, and snacks in lobby 24/7. Owner was very helpful and kept a good eye on the property. Little Ceasors and 7eleven are near by. Stay on property after dark, shady people and drug users lurk all over.
