Beds were uncomfortable. Water was either boiling hot or cold on the shower, knob didn’t allow for an in between. The first night the hot water wasn’t even working. A floor mat would be nice to help keep sand off of the stone tile floor. Price listed seemed worth it then a hotel fee was tacked on and at that point the stay was not worth the price. THE WALLS ARE absolutely paper thin. Doesn’t seem like a quiet time is enforced because people would be up making noise well into the night. Just stay somehwere else.

It was okay

While it was going good , we were disappointed about a few things . Uncomfortable bedding and there were water roaches coming up our drain , mind you we paid well over 600 for the “deluxe” room , floors felt sandy and the cleanliness just wasn’t there . There was dirt everywhere under the bed . We didn’t bring it to their attention because they were super sweet ! But it is unfortunate that we paid so much just for the deluxe room to Feel dirty & with water bugs

The location of this spot was great. The owners called me in advance to my stay. I notified them that my Wife and I would be coming in late and they really helped and worked with us on making sure we got in our room after hours. It was very convenient especially after a long day.

The stay was decent for the price we paid. Less than 500 for 4 night. The bed was lumpy and hurt mine and my wife’s back. We didn’t get any cleaning service until I asked for but was marked cleaned everyday. Ac quit working last night we were there and basically soaked everything in the room. But regardless of all this I’ve stayed at worse. There were clean sheets and fresh towels daily.
