This hotel is a great value! They have a wonderful pool and a lovely sitting area outside with a fire pit. The staff is very friendly and everything is very clean. A hot breakfast is provided every morning. My only complaint was the water for the shower was not as hot as I like it.

While they’ve done a nice job trying to modernize an old motel property (nice room decor), I wasn’t impressed with the size of the toilet/shower portion of the bathroom. It was very small. I also don’t know how “clean” the shower was, as the walls were a porcelain white tile (looked clean), the shower floor was dark brown River rock. It could have been filthy and you wouldn’t know it. Concerning.

Great stay

The bed was so comfortable, and the room perfectly clean. No bad smells. Check in was friendly. The only thing I would want to be different is there is light coming into the room all night from the pool area and outdoor lights by the rooms. They have plantation shutter style window coverings and it's impossible to get the room dark. Otherwise, perfection!

Lack of water pressure was less than desirable, the wi-Fi was not good to the extent where our rooms tv wouldn't work, we called maintenance & he basically said due to inefficient wi-Fi, nothing he could do. On top of that when we went to get some breakfast the staff told my daughter she had gotten enough WATER! NOT BOTTLED water, water from the drink machine! I didn't realize our water was limited. Would not recommend.

A little disappointed

Was a little disappointed, the photo's made the property look extremely nice. We booked for 2 nights, only stayed for one. Our door to the outside would not close all the way with out a major push & kids where afraid it was not shut all the way. Also the bathroom door would not shut at all. I did contact hotel.com, they worked on our behalf & could only refund 1 night- so we stayed the 1st night & switched properties for the other night. Pool was nice & had hot water, just every time one of our neighbors would flush the toilet we would hear it & could hear some people running around upstairs. workers were very nice.
