Although the staff were friendly the building needs to be upgraded the doors stick which causes people to have to slam there doors to close which makes it loud for people trying to sleep. During our stay a fight happened in the hallway and needed to be nipped in the butt way sooner then it was . If it was not for the friendly staff We would of packed it up and gone somewhere else

Family Wedding

We stayed for a couple nights as we were attending a family wedding. Location was perfect, close to shopping and restaurants. The onsite restaurant was very good! Pool was great, they could cut down some of the shrubbery around the pool to alleviate the mess and allow more sunlight. Front staff was professional and friendly. Will stay again. Thank you

The only problem I had at this property was I left my straightener behind in the bathroom. I called once and was told I would get a call back the next day. Waited two days, called back and then was told they don't have it. Luckily my mother in law lives in the area and I asked her to go there and talk to them which she did. They found my straightener after about 5 minutes of her being there. I doubt that I would've gotten it back if she hadn't gone in there

Booked a stay at a motel down the road, sketchy to say the least. Decided late last minute to move to something safer and cleaner. Vijay was super kind and helpful. The hotel is clean and maintained very well. If you have to stay in this town, then this is the number one choice without a doubt.

The property is what you would expect . Breakfast was convenient. The pool is nice for a refreshing dip on a hot day . Shopping at a big Walmart is v close enough to walk to . Only thing is we had to do online check in before arriving and then they needed us to do it all over again upon arrival . Seems like a needless extra step .....
