Great stay!
Our stay was great! Only downside is they didn’t have a smart TV. But they do have full cable channels.

Awesome Find
This is such a great place - stylish and modern yet cozy. The in-room coffee is good. The room was superb - just what I wanted. Very clean, the furniture was just right, the bed was super comfortable (lights for reading in bed are awesome!), tv worked great and was nice and big. The shower was lovely--hot water came fast. My little balcony was just the right size, and I got to face the pool and hear everyone having fun, which I love. I will go back to this place!

Good clean hotel for the price
The front desk check-in went smoothly and the lobby is set up nicely with items for sale, a coffee station, and seating area. The hotel is kept up nicely although it feels a bit more roadside and less glamorous than the pictures. That said, the room was clean and the only complaint is the bed was hard. All in all I'd stay here again.

Nice place
We had to order our own breakfast Online.. We have received only half the order. It’s very frustrating. The signage to the place is hard to see from the road. You have to ask other hotel owners where their are situated.

Updated, clean but bad shower, breakfast
Hotel was clean and comfortable for a family of 4. The shower was a joke with so little pressure that could barely get the body warm on a cold evening. Complementary breakfast was a joke too limiting to one item - choice of one donut or cold boiled egg or oatmeal. They should have just said no breakfast instead. Too pricey for just an updated hotel.
