The hotel is updating the rooms. Our room had a stain on the white curtain. The shower/bath was a bit small but worked well. The pool was nice and the water slide was very good. No hot food for breakfast. Coffe was good.

You get what you pay for.
Hotel was a stop over on a cross country trip. Definitely not a place I would stay for more than a night. Room had no trash cans. Doesn’t seem like a big deal until you don’t have one! Seemed short staffed. Had to call a number to let front desk know you were waiting for service. Room needed updating. Some things were closed but not removed like the water slide. Looked like they were in the middle of a remodel though. Breakfast choices just packages processed foods. Would pay the extra 20$ and stay somewhere else.

Not certain if in remodel stage or not. Bathroom door veneer hanging off, snag clothes & sharp enough to cut hand. Bathroom was clean. Carpet stained, need either well vacuumed & cleaned or just replaced. Bed bottom sheet appeared unclean. Empty bottle of controlled substance found in room - did tell front desk. Ice machine tray needs replaced - broken making it difficult to clean from the appearance of it. TV did not work but very nice & polite maintenance man came very quickly & replaced tv. Hotel was quiet. Hallway was updated with wood laminate, clean & nice appearance. Easy to check in. Attendant was polite. Beautiful outdoor patio/sitting area!! Not certain if would book with hotel again without an look at the hotel & rooms prior to booking. Even at the good price to stay!!!

Bed was comfy and bathroom/shower newly redone and very clean. There was a very faint smell of smoke - not sure if it was from wildfire smoke or live-in guests smoking where they should not. Overall good stay; would probably stay again if only for one night. Very convenient to both north-south and east-west interstate highways.

Don’t skip out on this one.
Like many I got the room because of the cheap price. It was one night in a long trip and wasn’t expecting much and it wasn’t required. As you can tell the place is an older building but they have done some nice upgrades and I was extremely happy with it. It was one of the cleanest hotels I’ve been in recently and I’ve spent 4-5 times more a night on lesser rooms and service. The pool looks awesome but I didn’t have time to try it

Our room was nasty, the carpet was all damp and all the walls were covered in dirt. Felt like bugs were biting me while I barley slept! Pool slide was the only thing ok with this hotel! If the right people ran this place it could be an amazing hotel but right now it's horid

Hallway smelled like a wet dog. Hot tub wasn’t working. Room smelled horrible, stains on the lamp shades. Dust hanging from the ceiling. Stains on the walls. Previous visitor must of left a charger and it was still plugged into the outlet in the bathroom, makes me worried about what else they missed when cleaning the room.

Check in was at 3 and wasn’t even able to go to my room until 5:30 because it wasn’t clean. When I was finally able to go to my room, it was disgusting. Hair on the sink, toilet didn’t flush, dog hair on the carpet, and trash and food in the fridge from the previous guests. Couldn’t get a new CLEAN room because they were fully booked so I cancelled my reservation. Terrible terrible TERRIBLE. I’m normally not one to complain but after traveling for 8 hours, this was the last thing I wanted to be dealing with. Don’t waste your money on this awful hotel
