My room was very clean and I slept exceptionally well. Lots of hot water. This place has great potential but is not being maintained with much love. Example, ceiling had a big patch of paint, instead of just painting one more roller width around. Grounds have trash and butts littering the property. Hot tun spills water everywhere.

Perfectly Okay for one night
Important to know: the hotel is next door to an In-n-Out Burger, which makes it a bit busy to get in. Moreover, if this will bother you, it’s across the street from a cemetery, but that makes it quiet on one side, at least. We just wanted an inexpensive, decent place to shower and sleep and this did fit the bill. The pool and spa looked very inviting, but we were exhausted. Our shower/tub faucet would not shut off (we told the front desk upon checkout) and there was a huge, dead palmetto bug inside the bathroom light/blower (forget to tell the front desk that), but those were my only complaints. Yes, the property is old with some cosmetic blemishes; however, it was decent.

I still don't have their answer to why they charged an extra $180.00 after I already paid the rent?

Safe Place to Crash, Dine, & Dash, so Relax
Hottub was just the right temperature to get the job done. The room was older, but clean, and I was able to get a decent nights sleep. In fact, it was comfortable enough for me to have trouble getting out of bed.
