It was a nice old hotel. They’re trying to upgrade it. The shower didn’t work. You couldn’t turn the shower off to take a bath and it was poor lighting and the TV was pretty small and far away but overall it was OK for the price. it was little much

Enjoyed our stay

This is a good place to stay in Santee. The service was great at the hotel, restaurant, cleaning people, and at the golf course. It's quiet and fairly modern. Parking is easy and abundant. The bed is on the firm side, which wasn't great for us, but I know a lot of people like that. The food at the restaurant is very good and priced fairly. The golf course isn't int he best shape. the greens are great, but the rest of the course has a lot of gopher problems. The tee boxes are very uneven. That being said the price is worth a round or two while you're there.

Had to leave the second night because the power went out! I couldn’t see anything it was very unsafe and uncomfortable. No light to see anything in your room is not right.

Donald who was my first point of contact was NOT welcoming at all, his customer service is the worse. Arrived Monday didn’t receive WiFi until Saturday this was after spending a total of at least 3 hours on the phone with Cox over 3-days. The Donald refused to contact them. The room was awful the bed was worn and sunken in the door let’s everyone know your status in the room the curtains do not close this place is sooo outdated and worn a 1’ crack under the door for all types of crawly creatures this place is the worse along with its customer service
