Lots of stealing going around that hotel. Had the catalytic converter on the moving truck I rented. The staff definitely helped but not much to do about theft since it’s something that isn’t taken seriously and money is always going to be lost. So be careful with that. They stole from my vehicle around 7:30 in the morning.

It would be so nice if the pool was indoor only because the pool and spa are so close to highway the cars make too much noise it’s. Also the trees from the highway drop a lot of debris into the pool. Also a bathroom would be nice next to the pool.

Esta cómodo y práctico solo tuvimos un incidente, un día entro alguien que se había equivocado de cuarto pero tuve la duda si pudo abrir con su tarjeta o si mi esposo había cerrado mal antes de salir! Pero desde ese momento ya no estuve cómoda y cerraba con la extra llave y jamás deje a mis adolescentes quedarse solos en el cuarto solo x esa razón no me volveré a hospedar ahí, pero todo lo demás esta muy bien! Super limpio y persona muy amable

Front desk staff was rude. I had booked two rooms, but only one room was showing on their system. It was a simple name mistake, and she was giving hard time over something easy to fix. She was offering water to other guesses arriving and didn't offer water to us. It was extremely hot. Another manager or owner had to step in to help us.

The place is currently mostly renovated and the refresh is nice, with a bit more modern decor than the one in the online pictures. Staff is friendly and inviting, quick to answer any requests. They do clean the room daily but after a few days there I could tell that the floors in the bathroom weren’t mopped and the sheets were changed only every few days too. Overall, convenient and safe, easy to get in and out of.
