Bathrooms in the unit we stayed in needed repairs however the rest of the room was super clean and the staff was incredibly friendly. Bed was comfy. Super if you want a dog friendly place to stay. There’s a huge fenced green space for them to run around. There’s an outdoor covered cooking space which is great also.

Not all the hotels fault

Bathroom fan was very noisy. Tried to call the front desk about a car alarm going off every 1/2 hour (from 11:00pm - 1ish am.) he couldn’t hear me over the bathroom fan.

The property is in a great location. Air conditioning worked amazing for the hot summer days and is a great option for when your doing a road trip and need a place to sleep only. Disappointments were the shower water pressure is so high it hurts the skin, coffee isn’t great so bring your own and filters! You have to wash the dishes (they charge if you don’t) and they don’t make your bed each day. Property advertises a pool but it’s empty and looks like it needs repair. Overall the property needs some tender loving care but again if you’re only needing a place to sleep this location works. Super friendly check in agent!!
