Great value for the property. While the hotel shows it’s dated age, it was extremely clean. It appeared the hotel was filled most of the two nights. Rarely heard any noise. Pool and hot tub in good condition. The continental breakfast was just fine. Coffee pot was kept full.

The hotel is likely the biggest in the town as the only other option is the Super 8. The pool & hot tub is fantastic and breakfast was great. The temperature was very hard to regulate and the air conditioner was very loud. Also, the outlet systems by the bed only worked with the very bright lights on overhead.

Came for a family vacation and based on the reviews, had much higher hopes, but for the price it was better than others. The pool had a huge hair ball and dead bugs for both days we went down so we cleaned it ourselves. The bathroom counter was falling off the sink so I let them know right away so they didn’t think we did it. Room had an odor to it, like a musty smell. And the walls are super thin, so if you’re a light sleeper, it will wake you up. The first night I woke up from people walking upstairs above us and the second morning I was woken up by someone’s cell phone vibrating. I was the only one in the room who had a phone and it wasn’t mine, had to be the people in the room next to us. Then after the phone vibration, you could hear the alarm from the phone going off as well. Breakfast was normal hotel breakfast but they did a good job keeping up with it.

The room was well appointed, it was super clean, it was very comfortable, it was very quiet. The staff was friendly. It would’ve been nice to have some food items throughout the day available as the vending machine did not work for me and it is quite a walk to find food if you don’t have a vehicle. Although I did walk down to Don Jose Mexican food, it was delicious and super friendly and clean. The fairway grocery store was very nice and the staff there was very friendly too. I like the pool and the hot tub in the hotel. It was nice to have the laundry room right attached to the pool so that you could do your laundry while you’re in the pool or hot tub. The desk staff is very friendly.

The breakfast bar was great. They kept refilling right up until the second they closed it. Very clean. Pool and hot tub were nice. Beautiful outdoor patio and furniture for a relaxing evening with friends and family.

Our large room with a king sized bed was very comfortable. We had a wonderful whirlpool bathtub. The water was hot enough to have a therapeutic soak. Our only suggestion is that grab bars or handles. The tub was a little slippery which could lead to a big problem.

The room was large and I loved that it had a walk-in shower. I also liked that the coffee pot in the room used kcups and decaf was offered. The room and public areas were vary clean and welcoming. The pool showed some wear, the bottom had areas thatlooked as if some paint had been peeled off or faded a great deal. That being said, the temperature of the water in the pool was great, no freezing when walking in if you are dry. The hot tub was wonderful! It was the perfect temp and the jets were nice without being overpowering. There was only one real negative about the hotel, and that is that I could hear the person or people in the room walking above me. They woke me up at 3am because they were walking back and forth across the room and it sounded like my ceiling (their floor) was about to splinter underneath them. I would definitely recommend this hotel, but also suggest requesting a floor on an upper room.

We had an overall amazing stay! The only downsides we experienced were the grill outside didn’t light and when we asked for assistance it was brushed off. Additionally the breakfast every day was the same. A little very would be great for guests who could be staying longer. Other than that it was absolutely perfect!
