10/10 Exceptional

Clean place comfy beds decent breakfast
Jacob, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The rooms are in rough shape. Our first room had such a horrific chemical smell in it we had to be moved. The pool is closed , that was the only reason we booked to stay here. We wouldn’t stay here again.
Stephany, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good for the price. The hotel was in better shape than when I stayed the previous year.
Alexander, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bed was comfortable and decent breakfast, room price was decent
Sheldon, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Pool is closed, breakfast bar was hardly edible. And the room looked nothing like its picture. Was very dark and gloomy. My kitchenette consisted of a kureg on top of a microwave on top of a mini fridge. The electrical outlet by the bed had an electrical adapter on it, and the outlet itself wasnt even attached to the wall. I think the person before me spilt something on the floor cause there was a wet spot. The hotel needs a complete renovation is the best I can say.and sound dampening. I heard every noise my neighbors made. The staff were the 1 good part of this stay. They were very friendly.
Brena, 2-night trip

Cheryl, 1-night trip

The pool was closed unexpectedly and they gave me 20% discount.
Taeyoul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was clean but tenant down the hall had very noisy dog barking continuously and that was annoying. Staff was nice and addressed issue saying they may move me if needed
James, 7-night trip

4/10 Fair

From a cleanliness and staff standpoint the standards were low. The buildings worn down. The ice machine had mold and the pool was out of service. I would not recommend this hotel.
Hondi, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Individuals making too much noise outside the hotel with dirt bikes. Too much moisture in the room. No hot food at the brrakfast, wasn't replenished.
Melissa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place and friendly staff

Beautiful place to stay and affordable Will definitely keep this one saved for another visit
John, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Staff did what they could but they booked us in an occupied room. Second room was full of tools and apparently being remodeled, third room the TV didn't work. Promised a rebate, but they were gone by morning and that never happened. That aside, it was remarkably clean for a budget hotel. Once they get management figured out it'll be a good place to catch some zzz's
Brian, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Had to ask for extra pillow multiple times. Water pressure in bathroom sink was a dribble, shower got water all over the floor.
Leon, 1-night trip

Nice room

Great
Mary, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Upon arrival the front desk attendants were courteous and friendly. They had a fan on the countertop blowing on them to stay cool. The air conditioning was not working. The first room they sent us to was so wet from inadequate ventilation flow. The floor looked as though it was just mopped and moisture was dripping off the refrigerator and bathroom toilet and shower walls. The bedding was damp. They moved us quickly into another room which was better. However, the lights didn’t work. There were ceiling tiles removed in the hallway.
Mary, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Cute but Awful

First room we were given had been flooded, the carpet was squishy and the whole room smelled of mold. The carpet was sticky in the second room. The pool/waterpark was closed for maintenance. There were random children just hanging out riding bikes/scooters throughout the hotel.

Knever again
Zane, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Water damage stains on ceiling in room. Ceiling tiles hanging down. Looked like a blind 2 year old painted room. Pool was down with no discount. Had to have keys activated 4 different times. Breakfast was pathetic and coffee was empty at 9 with no refill. No safe in room. Front main door was malfunctioning.
Jeff, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Took over 1 hr to check in, we reserved 2 rooms, first try she put all of us in same room, then 2 different rooms, keys didn't work. Had to go back get keys to work, hall was full of rocks, dirt, the room smelled horrendous and was dirty. We went back asked for refund told had to send us check? Then found out charged wrong card, couldn't fix or give receipt. I expect a full refund.
Vikki, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The beds and pillows were very comfortable
Melissa, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I didn't even stay.. checked in and it was eerie with some interesting people. Went to the pool and the waterside wasn't even on, not that i would use it though because the stairs looked NASTY. The only reason for two stars is because the front desk lady was super nice.
