Friendly staff, nice cafe with good food and coffee. We saw 2 bugs in our room but found it to be mostly clean. Comfortable beds and free parking. The pool is nice and they have a fireplace going at night. The price is its primary selling point and I would probably stay here again for a short stay.

Staff are really nice and the rooms are very clean and with great themed decor! I’ve stayed here probably 4 times now, and I always enjoy my stay when I do. I also like that they have the snack shack adjacent to the cafe - very convenient when you just want a quick snack. Great property that’s safe and remodeled. The only down sides are that there is no fridge or microwave in the room.

Clean room. Location sits by a trolley station & right next to a casino/restaurant. The marina is a 5 minute drive away. Nice hidden gem I think!

Our room was fun, unique and the hotel was very accessable from the freeway Felt as if we were far away from the city and overlooking the reserve area was a great detachment.. The checkin area staff were friendly and helpful. Loved oir crafted beverages at the cafe. Uniqie de or made it a fun getaway with style. The carpet in our room was less desirable felt wet in areas? Maybe had just been cleaned? Overall our room was excellent clean bedding & linens , the shower head was awesome! All the effort in the character designwas greatly appreciated. Would like to stay here again and bring some froends to roast smores with and swim in the pool too. Looked like a great time.
Loved our room!
Yummy chai!
