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.

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.

Our room itself seemed clean but you could tell the bathroom was mopped with a dirty mop as there was long dark hair in the shower and bathroom floor, neither my husband or myself have long dark hair. The breakfast was fine, but not anything great!
