"A top-notch motel. Don't hesitate to stay here.2019-10-14"
"Nice, quiet hotel with friendly employees. The room was clean and looked recently remodeled; there was a sign apologizing, but there was no mess to be seen. Awesome hot breakfast with plenty of variety and seating. We'll definitely stay here again.2019-05-21"
"If you have a pet, this is the place to stay. The room was clean and smelled nice, and I didn't hear any dogs barking. Our room was conveniently on the 1st floor. But the check-in clerk was more interested in answering the phone than helping me, and the other clerk was crabby when we asked for more towels. Nice pool area; the water was warm but salty. Nice, clean whirlpool, but it wasn't warm enough. Great breakfast, and the attendant kept it stocked with fresh food. I recommend this motel for a short stay.2016-01-20"
"Our room was above the pool, and didn't have blackout drapes. But it was clean and tastefully-decorated. Staff was friendly, engaging, and helpful. Wonderful breakfast.2015-04-27"

"I was put in 3 different rooms because the first 2 had bedbugs. Don't stay at this hotel.2016-09-15"
"The hotel was generally satisfactory. There were several small roaches and spiders in our room, and it was humid due to the large, indoor water park. Good room amenities, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful. If you don't have children and aren't interested in the water park, shop around for another place to stay.2016-06-28"

"The sofa and chair were hard and super uncomfortable. The pool area was filled with trash, and the garbage can was overflowing. Someone set a fire in the stairwell, and we had to evacuate at 11:30 PM. Don't stay at this hotel.2020-08-11"

"The motel staff was great. We stay here every year, and they always treat us well. They went above and beyond to make sure we got to our competition despite a flat tire. We'll be back.2017-10-04"
"Good value. This was a nicely remodeled motel. The bed wasn't that comfortable, but the room was clean and served our needs. Ask for a room away from the lounge; it got noisy at closing time.2016-10-27"

"Nice hotel, but the handicap room was just a regular room with hand rails. The bathtub was too high for me to get into.2019-09-16"
"Our room was clean but humid, and the carpet was wet and sticky. The front desk clerk was the only pleasant employee at the hotel. The others completely ignored us. Look for other options.2019-07-08"
"Inexpensive hotel. I had a non-smoking room, but it smelled a bit like smoke. I liked the room layout, but not the long mirror for a headboard. The bed was comfortable, though. The bathroom door had been spattered with something and it hadn't been cleaned. Not a vacation destination, but it met my needs.2015-08-14"
"The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff was accommodating. The fire alarm went off shortly after our arrival, and the front desk clerk said it wouldn't be turned off until the fire department arrived. Other than that, our stay was enjoyable. I'd recommend booking here.2015-06-08"
"Good location near the freeway. Great hotel for the price. The room was small, but clean and updated. Great bed. I was very satisfied.2015-06-03"

"The 1st room was disgusting, and the AC didn't work. The lights and AC didn't work in the 2nd room. The bed wasn't properly made, and the bathtub had hair in it. The 3rd room was a little better. Don't stay at this motel.2018-06-18"

"This was our 1st hotel stay since the pandemic started, and it exceeded our expectations. Good location with easy access to I-80. The hotel was new, clean, and nicely furnished. The bed was quite comfortable, and the bathroom was nice. The only glitch was an issue with temperature control in our room. We were able to sit outside and eat take-out food, and there was an on-site bar. The indoor pool looked great, and the check-in clerk was accommodating and helpful.2020-09-20"

The hotel was comfortable and clean, and the staff was friendly, helpful, and answered my questions about what was being done to keep everyone safe. The room was clean, and we enjoyed having a suite.2020-04-16"
