A simple place to rest

I’ve stayed here many times. Everyone is very nice and the place is very clean for the price they charge. It is a comfortable place to rest after visiting family also the Chinese buffet next door is the best I’ve ever had! The location is easy to get to off the thruway Which is a big plus for me. They do also serve coffee and a small breakfast!

Good for one or two nights

Bed comfortable. They put us in room around outside of the u it, next time would ask for courtyard room so there would be a place to sit outside. It was a bit breezy so pool was locked up, seems like a nice pool area!

Good for the price.

Room was clean. Area was fairly quiet when it counted. 2nd time staying here. TV is tiny but, I used the wifi and my laptop so, not an issue for me. La Fiesta is right next to hotel so, I had a great Mexican meal right next door. Wolf road is nearby so, shopping and much more is just a short trip away. Will book again next year.

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the cleanliness of the pool and the room. Friendly, accommodating staff- we were allowed to check out an 1.5 later because our 5 year wanted to spend more time in the pool. The only thing we didn’t like was the back of the building on one side. We arrived late and the abandoned wing at the back looked menacing. However, the inner yard with the pool is very cosy and well kept. Overall, would definitely stay again!

Good economy stay

Not much to look at outside, but the room was spacious and clean. Ask for a room in back it was very quiet. Cheapest room I could find in the area. Pool was very nice.
