This property is a gem! The property is older but well maintained. The staff was incredibly friendly throughout our stay. The hotel was quiet and conveniently located less than 1/2 hr away from Watertown. Very pet friendly! We will definitely be staying here again.

The Manager and staff were very nice, and helpful. A very small town home feeling. The kids loved the pool. It was a quiet, clean, and frendly town. We sat outside and just talked for hours in the evening with manager, staff, and other guests. Great place to stay, I highly recommend it.

Decent for money

Very large room. Hotel is dated, but for what we needed (clean beds and bathroom) it was good enough. The woman at the front desk was very friendly and polite. She was a very helpful person.

Place is definitely old and hasn't been kept up. Doors still use traditional keys. AC in room was super noisy and bed gave the creepy crawling feeling, we didn't get much sleep and checked out first thing in the morning. The only good thing was it was super cheap but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. This place is definitely a dive.

Excellent room with three queen bed was a big plus for the group we traveled with. It is right off the pool area and is very nice abnd spacious. The room could use room darkening curtains to make sleeeping a bit more comfortable. Quiet and safe area. A bit off the I 29 when traveling through but not too bad considering the great room rate. Staff and manager were friendly and helpful when we needed things.
