6/10 Good

Adequate
This was a very old property and you could see daylight around the door, the first room door was very old, warped and broken and more than a 1/4" gap all the way around. I asked to be moved to a better room with a door that didn't show daylight, it was a bit better but still showed daylight around the door. The bed was comfortable and TV was good, the shower was warm but no hot water. There were holes in the ceiling as well. It was adequate and we slept comfortably

2/10 Poor

Not a family place
You can hear everything everyone does, and everyone can hear everything you do. I listened to the housekeeping sweeping ourside of my room each morning. My children were woken up at night by delivery drivers parking in front of the room. I was threatened with police action after I left the property due to crumbs and food items on the floor left by my children. I was told there were damages, when all it would have taken was a broom and a mop to clean up anything left behind. Including the threat of police action, I was told that there would be fees incurred for the amount of time the room would need to be closed to repair it, which honestly is a joke because they could have paid me $15 an hour to clean that room up and I still wouldnt have received $10 for my service. It was a simple and unavoidable issue to fix with a three year old, and a two year old staying in the room. Dont stay here if your children are young, or just children at all.

Great value for the money!
Great theme and location! Love the vibe of the place and the location is super close to all you need. A bit off the main downtown but close enough like 5 min drive. Free coffee and tea in the mornings. Fair price for the value…

2/10 Poor

Family owned???? Not family friendly.
I had a medical emergency the morning of checking in that prevented me from traveling 9 hours to the property. As sad as I was about this and as unfortunate as it was, I was then charged completely by the hotel. Hotels.com fought for me and to no avail on a refund. I would have thought that a medical emergency would have allowed me some grace to not financially be taken for almost $500 from.a "family owned business". That $500 dollars meant alot more to a single dad in the education field then it did to a family owned hotel. Looking back at your reviews now I do see others had experienced the same misfortune. I hope others read this review and think twice about booking. Extremely sad and frustrated about this. Lesson learned to only deal with national chains that have understanding and compassion for the customer.

Hidden gem!
Amazing place. Wasn’t sure when I booked, what I should expect. The pictures don’t even do this place justice. The rooms are newly renovated and the pool is to die for. I just wanted a place with a pool so that I could swim. This pool is as good as any 5 star hotel/resort. The check in was amazing and the service was great. The tiki bar next door was fun and convenient too. I haven’t stayed at a motel in a while and very pleasantly surprised that I picked this place. As I walked up and down the street and looked at other motels, they were dumps. This place is well maintained and cares about their guests.

It was ok! The shower was not hot at all. Asked for extra rags they didn’t have any available. The maid didn’t replace them when she cleaned the room. It wasn’t bad. Just needs to work out a few things.
