Interesting place. Reminds me of a remodeled Roadside motel. Nice grounds. 8pm cookie hour for guests! The bed was super comfy. If you're traveling for business, even though there is a very small desk, not enough table space to spread out. No closets for clothing. Overall decent location central to most things needed during travel.

Great Stay!

We only stayed for a couple of days for an event, but we enjoyed our experience. The free breakfast was a plus! Only complaint, though it wasn't a deal breaker, was we got a lot of the noise from the parking lot and street.

The "hotel" looked very nice and looked new-ish online. I booked a "junior suite" with a king bed. When we checked in, all of the rooms were outside access, some of the clientele looked a bit sketchy? Anyways, the bathroom fan and flushing the toilet were very loud, as well as all the activity in other rooms. And it was very apparent that this property was once a tired old motel in which they updated paint, tile bedding. Put down cheap vinyl flooring that was cold on your feet and had alot of gouges. Overall, it appeared clean, but for the price we paid, i expected MUCH nicer, not a small old motel room with a microwave and fridge. Felt like they were just putting lipstick on a pig!

Ok for a short stay. Good if traveling with pets.

The room was comfortable and felt safe for a motel. Did not know when booking that this was a pet friendly hotel. Wasn't too much of an issue overall, but there was a dog barking outside at 4am and 6am the first night I was there. The 2nd night a group if young kids was being very loud by the pool area until after midnight and quiet hours were supposed to start at 10 pm. Breakfast was decent and breakfast area was well kept. Good location with lots of shopping and restaurants in the area.
