The property, landscaping, cleanliness, outside sitting area all beautiful. The staff was super friendly. Rooms were clean, spacious and the a/c worked great. The breakfast was delicious. Our only disappointment was the pool was closed for renovations. But no worries we went down the road to the local KOA, rented a tent site and enjoyed the beautiful pool there during the day. So it was a win win all around. Would definitely consider this hotel if in the area again.

Overall Good Budget Hotel

Informative and friendly staff, generally clean room but dirty when you look closely. Clean sheets, but caked dust by microwave, dead roaches indicating the floors haven’t been cleaned. Pet friendly which is nice, relatively quiet but off a 35mph highway. Overall a decent stay, will come back and hopefully they’ve done some spraying.

Exterior was littered with little black bugs everywhere. There was so many in front of the door to our room we didn’t even go inside. We arrived just after dark and the parking lot was dark and we felt unsafe. I was told no rooms were available on the well lit side of the property. Didn’t end up staying here. Asked for a refund within 15 minutes of checking in since we didn’t enter the room. Was told to contact manager in a couple days for a refund.

Mr Cement Boots

My room was clean and well stocked with towels and all essentials. I was grateful due to my handicap that I got a room on the bottom floor. I however was not grateful for the upstairs neighbors whom walked around with cement boots all night. I was there comfortable, sleeping...until upstairs Mr. Cement boots decided to take off said boots, one at a time..BOOM.....BOOM. Startled wide awake at 3am...

It was quiet and they offered free breakfast. Staff was very professional. See to address some issues, maintenance wise with the bottom of the entry doors too close off to keep bugs out.
