Property was nice, but was downgraded from a king cottage to double queen room because of overbooking and wasn’t told about it. Tried to only pass off waiving the resort fee instead of about $50 instead of the $200 from the downgrade at first. Had to call them out twice to get them to give the refund. Hopefully this doesn’t happen to anyone else staying here.

Nice property but showing its age. They are stingy with toiletries. We had to ask for more tp, cleanex, shampoo, body wash. Front desk was not responsive so we would track down housekeeping. The water in the jacuzzi was yellow but the pool was clean. This was our third time staying here and probably our last.

Average at best…

This hotel Is mediocre at best. I would say it’s a juiced up motel 6 with a good dinner place and bar nearby that keeps people coming back. The beds and pillows are subpar and while it calls itself a hotel, the doors open to the parking spots which gives it a motel vibe. I would not stay here again. There are several other places nearby that are a lot nicer for the same price.
