Family vacation, hotel is pet friendly. Breakfast provided, they even had cookies and a happy hour during the week. It met our needs, but would prefer a big doggie relief area.

The general experience was ok. The neighbors above were rude and partied all night for both nights.
Other than that the cost per night was above average.
The parking close to the building was blocked by rental carts. As partiality disabled was bad.

No frills motel.
This motel is okay if you are just looking for a place to sleep and shower. I immediately noticed that the room was warm and humid. I voiced my concern to the clerk and she put me in another room where the AC was in working order. The location is good. I booked my stay for a Sunday, the rate was slightly under $100, however, when considering booking Saturday, I noticed that the rates were drastically higher, like over $300 for a Saturday night. I travel often and this motel is definitely not worth spending over $300 a night!

The room was ok. Not super clean, but not disgusting. Nothing fancy, but no bugs, so we were happy. Staff was not very friendly. And breakfast was sad compared to most places. Was told the had appetizers from 5-7, we went down at 5, and there was nothing.

Clean and well managed. The breakfast bar is full of selections. Staff is friendly and professional. Great location and reasonably priced. Not perfect like The Wynn :) but you can tell the entire crew is working to maintain a great place for guests to stay. We will keep coming back!!

We would definitely come back again
We rented two rooms our family said they really enjoyed their room we also enjoyed our room we had a deluxe to bed room with the stove and refrigerator was very handy probably could use more silverware and bigger frying pan! We enjoyed the pool even though a lot of people complained it was too small there was probably 15 people in it and it wasn't bad at all.
