The room was clean and the staff were very helpful. The bathroom had a large tub with lights and jets. Also, the facilities, such as the pool, were great.

The only issue I had was that the breakfast options were limited on the first morning. The staff communicated that their delivery was late. They had fixed the issue by the next morning.

I loved how right away as soon as I got there they informed me that they upgraded my room due to a plumbing situation

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like about the property

Room was spacious and clean. Soaking tub was awesome!

Could not get the Bedroom TV to work. The internet connection was bad. I'm still waiting to get my $100 deposit back. Other hotels give it back within 24 hours

The staff was very friendly and assisted me with anything I needed very quickly.

There wasn't any towels changed everyday we stayed and had to ask for new ones which weren't available.

Outside landscape decorated the place well. Room was modern, clean and everything worked. Staff from desk clerks to breakfast manager were pleasant and helpful. Excellent updates in decor in room and lobby, plus huge window in breakfast room fun to look through.

The building was tucked behind a gas station and across from another motel making it hard to find in the dark from the street. Rating this place as one star is a misnomer: it is better than that.

I liked the soaking tub. The bed was clean and very comfortable.

The room service meal was over priced and not very good.

Very spacious and very good staff.

The only issue we had was the bathroom. When we got there the floor was wet and it was a little bit dirty
