"We loved our stay - the hotel pool and hot tubs were our favorite. The weekend pool party with a DJ was a fun scene. The lobby decor and games had a unique vibe. The restaurant food was good and we enjoyed eating at the pool. Our room was cute and clean, but a little tight for a family of four. Overall we enjoyed our stay and found great, affordable food options very close to the hotel. "
"Very clean and modern motel room. The building exterior itself is clearly dated but the floor, fixtures, windows, bed, bathroom have all been updated. It’s a good value for the money. "
"I have stayed here several times, but I noticed they have made some upgrades, such as adding more lighting to their parking lot but it’s not too bright to where you can’t sleep at night. I really like the area, and the staff is friendly."
