Loved the pool and the free breakfast.
Philip, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The breakfast was an unexpected treat. Eggs, 3 types of meat, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, and giant muffins, along with the typical packaged fair. The room was ok, dated, but they allow pets for a nominal fee and it was super quiet. I would 100% stay again if passing that way.
Darcy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good hotel, awesome staff
Sarah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a little hard to find first time due to it being off a little side road, but once we found it , it was conveniently off the freeway and very close to the town.
Karen, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Great Staff - but hotel smells awful

The hotel had an awful smell. The staff was nice, but the rooms were terrible and the smell was even worse. It was extremely difficult to sleep in that

Breakfast was good.
Karen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent quality, soaps, shampoo towels. About average breakfast items with homemade cinnamon buns to take and package to go. Coffee was excellent gourmet. They had real butter and real milk cream. Top job!! Very welcoming for a traveler.

Mary, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Botched reservation

I specifically reserved a room with 2 beds and when we got there, we got a 1 bed room. There were 3 of us and a dog. No rooms left available but they had a hide-a-bed couch (very old and uncomfortable) but it was for only 1 night so we made it work.
Janell, 1-night trip

upgraded our room for the jacuzzi and the jets didn’t even work. very disappointed in that. one of the blankets was dirty/ stained as well. otherwise very quiet and helpful staff.

Great pool area, clean rooms and good breakfast!
Shelbie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place. Only gave a four star because the water in the shower was cool at best. I was unable to get it hot. Other then that it was great.
David, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property is in need of major repairs and upkeep. Room service needs to up their game. They didn’t even make our beds. Our keys didn’t work and needed reprogrammed right off the bat. All the tables at breakfast needed wiped down and we were the only ones in there, so it wasn’t busy. And our food was lukewarm at best. I wouldn’t recommend staying here, but unfortunately this is the only place to stay in town that’s halfway decent.
Brenda, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is looking run down.
