The presentation was phenomenal, but the rooms are a little on the dingy side, and now a day after checking out, my wife and I are starting to notice red rashes all over our bodies. We are worried it may be bed bugs.

Experience Redeemed

While our first non-smoking room smelled of smoke, the next one we were given, did not. The manager on duty, Snoop, made it right and further surprised us by covering dinner in their restaurant, which was much appreciated and a very generous gesture at Thanksgiving time.

Fun get away to relax

Everything looked clean but the stone floor could have used a good sweeping. Bring some flip flops or thick socks to make it more comfortable to walk on floor. Jacuzzi was great and comfortable. Love the restaurant and food. Great prices and value. Best cheeseburger in town. Staff are all friendly. Gaming room is nice and clean.

The room was definitely unique. We rented a hot tub room. The hot tub never got hot. The bed wasnt the most uncomfortable bed weve ever slept on in a hotel, but it wasnt the best either. It did the job. For over 2 hours straight another guest was banging against something and slamming their doors. That finally stopped around midnight. The worst part of the room was the stale cigarette smoke smell. First walking into the room it didnt seem to bad just like a very old hotel smoke smell, by the time we got up in the morning our clothes, the room, even the toilet paper when we tried to blow our nose smelled like cigarettes so bad. My eyes swelled up from it.

It is very nice to still find a hotel these day with a jacuzzi in the room. The rooms are very nice & spacious. There was a constant smell of weed and it was very noisy. We were woke up early in the am to people being loud. We were also surprised with a $100 only cash deposit.
