Being able to dine at the Crocodile and sit indoors or outdoors is wonderful & so convenient. We enjoyed our meal & cocktails by the fire pit very much. The location is scenic & quiet. We stay here often & find it worthwhile in many ways.

We loved our stay here. We had a great time at the pool bar and the happy hour specials were great. The room was ready upon check in. Bed was comfy but the shower was a little lackluster. Overall though, it was great.

The room itself was fine but had outdated carpet and scratches on the walls. Definitely could use some maintenance but the first floor patio and bar/pool area is everything. Perfect hangout spot for family. We enjoyed our stay and will return.

Great location a super cool retro 60’s motel vibe. Food was amazing and staff was great! The helped me watch the WC quarterfinals game at the outside poolside Tiki Bar even though they weren’t open. The grounds are kept up and the down stairs units all have access to a patio that leads to the pool area.
