Great stay 10/10
My stay here was great. The room was clean and updated. The pool area is really nice.
Make sure you double check your receipt if if you’re traveling with a service animal. They charged me for my service animal, it had to be reversed. Front desk staff was amazing. Breakfast is ok, could be better however it’s not a deal breaker for me. The room and pool is more important. I was satisfied.

We could check in early. Breakfast was the best and the woman preparing the food was so happy and helpful. This was the best low-budget hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

Great stay!!!
I enjoyed this stay. The room was very clean and spacious. The bed was super comfortable. The pool area was very well kept. Breakfast left a lot for be desired. They had no milk, pancake mix however it wasn’t a deal breaker for me. The pool area and the rooms were most important to me. I definitely would stay here again and again. The price wasn’t bad either for the suite that I had. Totally worth it. OH!!!! And the free chocolate chip cookies are DELICIOUS!!! LOL my family loved them.
