"Everything is well done.We enjoyed the restaurant in the bar on the property.In felicia was outstanding in answering questions in customer related satisfaction"
"It was a place to stay for two nights, and it was quiet. I stayed on the 2nd (top) floor. It is a basic motel, with parking immediately in front of the rooms. No amenities, and nothing nearby (walking distance) for dinner/snacks/drinks."
"Hot tub temps couldn’t change, floor was dirty throughout, outdoors smelled like hot garbage, couldn’t have fire in firepit as staff didn’t know how to light it"
