Very friendly service and good areas for parking. Seems like they were undergoing construction at the time, so the lot was a little beat up. No construction noises disturbed us. Older structure with older amenities, but for the bargain I would stay here again.

You pay for what you get. It was a lot cheaper than a chain hotel. All we were doing was laying our head down for the night, so therefore it was fine. The 3 issues I had with the room :1) the floor was not clean( my socks were dark). 2) the toilet would run in the middle of the night for some reason. 3) the bed was just OK. Like I said, you pay for what you get ! We didn’t pay much for the room…

Great location, price and newly remodeled pool!

Great for what we needed. Most definitely budget-friendly route. Limited working outlets. Quiet grounds and remodeled pool is ready once it warms up! Bring your own pillow.
