I did not like the strings of long hair on the shower walls. The beds are extremely firm. The noise is ridiculous. Never again.

A seriously affordable hotel with nice clean rooms. Every room has a patio or balcony facing the pool, and we used it's everyday! We actually would have dinner out on the patio. Parking is super easy, very easy check in check out, a pretty decent breakfast although I felt like it started at different times every morning. They even have a Tesla charger! I would definitely stay here again.

The property is nothing like the images online. The breakfast was below average and very limited. The room was nice but the shower head leaked all night, the tv only had 3 channels that worked and the bathroom sink won’t drain. The ice machine was broken as well. The back door to pool area was nice and the front desk person was nice

Room was clean and had nice tile floors. I love hotel rooms that don't have carpet, it always feels cleaner. The bathroom was spacious and clean. The provided toiletries like shampoo, soap, etc were lacking. There was mismatched shampoo and conditioner and our room didn't have soap (thankfully I always travel with extra). I was grateful for the continental breakfast but they need to provide a few more options. Overall, I would stay here again. It was a good value for the cost.

Where do I even start. The lobby was cluttered with junk and had nothing in place. The room had weathered furniture, flooring, appliances, and chairs that should’ve been well on their way out. Keep in mind, there was only one other car so our hotel room was most likely one of the better ones. The bathroom was halfway done in their renovation but just got left, with bugs everywhere diving in between cracks. The breakfast was something else, with old orange juice and not much to offer. The outdoor area and location was the only positive of this experience. With the pricing, use this as a last resort to stay.

We booked the hotel because it had high ratings. Although it was a decent hotel, I do not think it deserves the ratings.
