It was just a short stopover, but was convenient to where we we to attend a function. Great dining in the area, Thai and a little Mom and Pop Cafe named Janets. We were on the lower floor and as luck would have it the first night noise from upstairs seemed never ending until about 11 pm. I do not know how that could be remedied to reduce noise for the lower level rooms.

It was a nice old hotel. They’re trying to upgrade it. The shower didn’t work. You couldn’t turn the shower off to take a bath and it was poor lighting and the TV was pretty small and far away but overall it was OK for the price. it was little much

Motel 6 on a golf course. Over priced and not very many options in the vicinity, old building and rooms, dirty rug carpet like in an old restaurant, run down, poor water pressure. Will work if your in a pinch.

Enjoyed our stay

This is a good place to stay in Santee. The service was great at the hotel, restaurant, cleaning people, and at the golf course. It's quiet and fairly modern. Parking is easy and abundant. The bed is on the firm side, which wasn't great for us, but I know a lot of people like that. The food at the restaurant is very good and priced fairly. The golf course isn't int he best shape. the greens are great, but the rest of the course has a lot of gopher problems. The tee boxes are very uneven. That being said the price is worth a round or two while you're there.

Loved it, and will be back again in 2025!

It was amazing. Behind the gates and I never wanted to leave. The golf course was phenomenal and the resort was just as fantastic. Already booked my wife's birthday trip for next year here!
