"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"

"Great hotel. I loved everything about our stay. The room was clean and quiet, though the mattresses were too firm. Easy checking and good breakfast.2018-11-28"
"The hotel wasn't bad, but it wasn't great and needed some updating. The front desk clerk was friendly.2018-03-27"
"The room was damp and the towels didn't dry overnight, but it seemed clean. Good beds and pillows. The toilet ran all night, and the flow director valve in the bathtub only worked half the time. As a woman traveling alone, I didn't feel safe at this hotel.2017-08-22"
"The sink faucet dripped, and the toilet bowl wasn't well-cleaned. Other than that, I had no problems at this hotel.2017-08-14"

"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"
