I just stayed the night here with my three children. It was awesome for the price...$50! Nice pool and hot tub, evening snacks, morning breakfast (waffles, sausage, egg, cereal, toast, muffins, doughnuts, fruit, etc). Room was clean. Beds are only double, but I slept well. Would definately recommend it. More

I rented two rooms for the two days leading up to New Years. I called to request that they be adjoining and on the first floor. That's exactly what I received. Check in was fast and efficient. The rooms were clean, not opulent, but well worth the money. The pool is small, a nice sized Jacuzzi, both well kept. The... More

We checked in at 7:00 pm I rented two rooms. Pam was fantastic she even called and asked if we were satisfied with the room. For the money the room was ok. Small pool, nice hot tub, clean room. The breakfast just ok. There were only a few real butters left in the container so I asked the girl at... More

My husband and I stayed here in October, 2011 for one night. Checking in was wonderful due to the friendliness of the front desk staff. She explained everything and told me exactly how to get to my room, also explaining the breakfast and other amenities. They even called our room a half hour later to see if we were happy... More

The staff was wonderful here! The manager checked us in, and then called us later to see if everything was as it should be. We booked through hotels.com, and needed to cancel our second night. The manager called hotels.com for us, walked us through the cancellation procedure and gave us the number to call the next day. Every staff member... More

This hotel was a disappointment for myself and my two boys. The pool was absolutely horrible....Very cold and the size is too small to be called much more than a large bathtub. The hot tub/whirlpool was built into the pool, and consequently, the temperature never got much warmer than 'tepid'. Also, the room housing the pool was very small and... More

My room was of the configuration mentioned in some other reviews with a door to the interior hallway in the bathroom and an exterior door in the sleeping room. Bathroom seems to be about 2/3 of the square footage of the sleeping room. The space would be much more usable if the bathroom was smaller and main room larger. Oh... More

Dear Valued Guest, There is an obvious misunderstanding regarding this situation. When you checked out at our front desk around 11:00am, you informed our staff that you were checking out to get a receipt but still needed a few minutes to pack up the rest of your belongings. Approximately 45 minutes had gone by which is well past our 11:00... More
