Friendly staff, clean rooms, hot showers. A little dated, and didn't have outlets on both sides of the bed for our cpaps. Desk lamp had a long enough cord with an outlet in the base so we made it work. I'd stay there again.

Hotel was okay for what we paid. Was in a busy area with lots of amenities. Hotel was relatively clean, however my partner and I saw several cockroaches. I have photos of them in our unit, staff were made away and we were offered a new room as well as 1 night for free. The same day we let staff know pest control showed up at our door to fumigate. Was kinda grossed out after that but the staff were friendly and pleasant to deal with. The breakfast wasn’t good. There is an outdoor pool but we didn’t use it at all. I also experienced quite a few bug bites of some sort while sleeping. I woke up with lots of bug bites on my legs one morning. Probably wouldn’t stay again

The place was nice but it was a motel. The name of the hotel is definitely misleading. Its a typical motel layout w the office as soon as you come in and then 2 levels of motel rooms. The pool was really small so don't plan on going in. If you have more than 2 people this probably isn't the best option. The staff was nice and the room was clean.
