Front desk folks are very welcoming at checkin. Breakfast was excellent - it made up for the place. Carpets needed more TLC. Need new washing machine and dryer. They were rusty! Free snacks in lobby is a plus. Refrigirator doors had smugges when we arrived. Had to wipe toilet seats. I was hoping to use gym, but it looked unmaintained, not cleaned, carpet looked dirty, trash on floor. Old equipment.

The rooms need to be updated , they had a smell like dirty carpet or wet carpet . The rooms where that clean you can tell steps are being skipped ! I asked for clean wash cloths and towels and took a long time to get them! The pool area was dirty and there was kids running around banging on doors and running at night. The beds where hard as well last time I was there the hotel was better idk what’s going on now and the only workers that where nice was in the breakfast area

I loved the free hot breakfast, that was very helpful and there were plenty of options. The options for eating around the hotel were limited, though, and everything was a walk to get to. If you enjoy bars and that kind of food, there were many in close proximity. The staff was amazing, helpful and very friendly. Even the valet parking staff was helpful, attentive, and friendly. Check-in was Ken, and he was great. The room was clean and spacious, and the bed was firm (maybe a little too firm but not terribly) and I liked that there was a TV in both the sitting area and the bedroom. Parking was very expensive, that was the one thing I wish could have been more affordable. 3 nights of parking could have paid for another night's stay.

Staff always very accommodating and nice. Made a point to make us feel comfy with extra blankets. The rooms are a nice little motel set up w/stove, refrigerator, sink, utensils, dishes, hand washing supplies, and dish washer. Pool was clean and appreciated they had a pool towel station with floaties and toys for children to enjoy. Had a little basketball court. A convinient store where you can buy supplies. From tv dinners to medication to umbrellas. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

Rooms NOT like what was pictured.

Our 2 bedroom suite looked NOTHING like the online pictures. We had a main floor room, looked out to a rocky area where people would smoke cigarettes and roll their joints so that was fun with kids for us. The carpet was filthy. We had to ask numerous times for towels to be restocked at the pool. Luckily we just quickly slept and showered there and was doing other things but overall we were not impressed and felt that the pictures did not describe the current property. Breakfast was decent with a lot of choices.
