Pictures are deceiving but hotel was clean the breakfast wasn't good and they just kept serving the left overs from the day before. We paid for our room on full but when we got there they said we needed a deposit which in my opinion should jave already been taken out or mentioned prior to me booking my reservation

Overall a good hotel with a cuteness factor going for it. Pool and hot tub was nice and morning breakfast good. It is a tad outdated.

Very clean, safe, lots of dining around. Freeway near parking lot. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond. They let me know that they were would be a bit of construction but I did not hear a thing. Walls are insulated very well. Beds are super comfortable. The pool and jacuzzi were clean and well maintained.

Room was clean and stocked well with the essentials. Pancake maker at breakfast was super popular with the kids. Chocolate milk was expired but otherwise breakfast was great. Tried to go swimming in the morning but the staff had shut down the pool with no warning or explanation, however a couple hours later it was open. Overall it was a great value and clean restful stay.
