"Great location near restaurants and businesses, but many were closed because of Covid-19. We were able to order and pick up meals. 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"

"The motel was dirty. The bedsheets had burn holes, and the pillows were bad. The TV was small. Not much selection at breakfast. Don't stay here; it's not worth the price.2016-02-03"

"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.

"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"

"A reasonably priced hotel with a pleasant atmosphere. Close to the amusement park and casino. The staff was friendly. The vending and ice machines were on the 1st floor, and our room was on the 3rd floor. Had to wait for the luggage cart, but the front desk clerk called when one was available.2016-05-29"

"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"
