I was surprised at the great rate, so I read the reviews, which were good, so we stayed there. I was not disappointed! It was clean and comfortable. There’s plenty of parking in front of each room. The breakfast was more than I expected. They had scrambled eggs, sausage links, country potatoes, and of course bread to toast, donuts, etc. I will definitely stay here again!

Stayed there after a wedding at Vina Rosa. A nice hotel with a motel-vibe. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Pool area was nice. Great to have a free breakfast with eggs and bacon - and make your own waffles. Staff was great but our check in was a bit slow with a party of 12 or so - all trying to check in. Not their fault but we were a bit late. Would stay again.

This is a nice budget hotel. It was a little overrun with loud kids and sports teams but the room was clean and quiet. This is a good option for families because of the pool and the poolside bar is a nice amenity though basic. My son ordered door dash food and it never showed up but was “delivered” so we think another guest might have had a nice dinner for free.

Facility is nicely well kept. The rooms were large and spacious. On site amenities were nice as well, from the fire pit to the yoga area. I would recommend others to spend the night there on any future adventures within that area.
