The stay of a lifetime

Our hotel stay was perfect. The friendliness and helpfulness started with our check in. We needed extra pillows and were handed some right away. The room smelled clean, no insects and the bed was super comfortable. The stay was quiet and there were nice chairs outside the rooms to relax in. The property itself was very clean and kept up. The hot tub and pool were well maintained. Checkout was bittersweet as we didnt want to leave but it was very professional. Definitely dont hesitate to book your next stay here!

2/10 Poor

Worst stay ever.

This was the worst stay I've ever had I will let all my friends and family know about my experience. Rooms we're dirty beds we're not even stable or level. Bedding was dirty looked like blood on both bedspreads. restroom very Dirty. Room Full of spiderwebs and mosquitos. You can hear everyone talking outside and on both sides of the room . Staff well I believe the owner Very RUDE!

4/10 Fair

Was okay. Needs more service

Room was clean bathroom are super small. Not alot of mirrors. Refrigerator door wouldnt stay shut without propping something infront of it. Did not tidy room or change out towels daily. Take out your own trash. Never stayed anywhere that did not come in daily. Air-conditioning was cold. Pool and bbq area was beautiful.
William, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great for the price....but...

For the price, the room was great for a quick stay. I would have given it a 5star but there were some guest who were being rowdy and making alot of noise till 2am and i was surprised management did not ask them to stop after 10pm or so.
Dave, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay for the price. Bed was super comfy but we did go purchase a comforter from dollar general bc the ones they have are pretty old and not great but the sheets were very clean and we slept great. Mary at the front desk was so sweet and gave amazing customer service. The rooms could use a deep clean but overall I would stay here again for the price and hospitality.
