Dirty upon arrival, pool and hottub were gross and unusable. Picture didn’t even match the room they gave us looked 15 years old when online everything was modern. The room had hair in bathroom and wasn’t cleaned at all. They also charged me an Extra 50 dollars after I left. Really bad experience only postive was the pizza place up the street.

The front desk staff are so lovely! An elderly couple was ahead of me and the staff was so patient and helpful. The courtyard is very enchanting and tranquil. I happen to strain a back muscle and after 3 hours of sitting and driving, I was stiff, to say the least!! When I opened my door and saw a jacuzzi tub…what can I say…God is Good. And Casablanca Inn is so Good!!

We very much enjoyed our stay, the room was fine for purpose, though the decor was a bit tired, you wouldn't want to spend some rainy days in it; the pool area and BBQ were a great amenity. Gave 5 stars for the staff, who were lovely: friendly, fun and helpful. Would go again, thank you
