Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I could hear every little noise in the rooms adjacent and above me, such as the screaming toddler and the party that began around 1am on a Tuesday night. The toilet handle broke, causing the water to continuously run. When I asked for a new room, the staff member not only tried to dissuade me, he also questioned whether I was telling the truth about the broken toilet. When I was finally given a new room, the key card didn't work. I got little to no sleep and had a very important meeting the next day. I do not recommend this hotel.

Unexpected wonder

We were pleasantly surprised at the property. It's beautiful. The hotel is immaculate. The only problem we had was the TV in the room. Using the TV was difficult. The remote quit working and I was unable to find some of the things that we like to watch when we wind down in the evening.

It was a nice, motel for a weekend volleyball tournament. Don't equate the cheap prices with a cheap motel, because this isn't. Would recommend to others & would definitely stay here again.

The stay was good. We got locked out of our hotel room at 315 when we went to the gas station. Apparently something with the electrical was wrong with the key card thing on the door. They did accommodate by moving our room but all our stuff was locked in there til the morning
