Ok except the ants

We stayed one night in tiny home #1 with a small child and it was ok. They are very tiny, like the bathroom is teeny tiny. I was happy about the stay except I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and there were ants all over the bathroom floor and crawling on the bathroom counter. I was not happy about this, there were ants on the walls and I woke up in the morning and ants were also in the bed. There was not any food crumbs or anything to attract them to the areas they were in.

Douglas, West Jordan

Quick and easy checkin, free hot chocolate and coffee on site. Everything within walking distance, hot pool on site, rooms are big with full cable. Only con is right off Main Street so there is street noise and people walking by. Night light right outside our room and no blackout shades, had to make our own.

We had a long stay during the week as it’s cheaper and we can stay longer. It was amazing as always! We first got there and we were the only ones there and the whole town felt quiet and peaceful! Bliss! Then more people started to come for the weekend it the whole town felt joyful! This is by far our favorite hotel and (pool) in town. We keep coming back because everyone is so nice, it’s clean and great place to relax!
