Average

It was a nice old hotel. They’re trying to upgrade it. The shower didn’t work. You couldn’t turn the shower off to take a bath and it was poor lighting and the TV was pretty small and far away but overall it was OK for the price. it was little much

Motel 6 on a golf course. Over priced and not very many options in the vicinity, old building and rooms, dirty rug carpet like in an old restaurant, run down, poor water pressure. Will work if your in a pinch.

Enjoyed our stay

This is a good place to stay in Santee. The service was great at the hotel, restaurant, cleaning people, and at the golf course. It's quiet and fairly modern. Parking is easy and abundant. The bed is on the firm side, which wasn't great for us, but I know a lot of people like that. The food at the restaurant is very good and priced fairly. The golf course isn't int he best shape. the greens are great, but the rest of the course has a lot of gopher problems. The tee boxes are very uneven. That being said the price is worth a round or two while you're there.

Had to leave the second night because the power went out! I couldn’t see anything it was very unsafe and uncomfortable. No light to see anything in your room is not right.

Loved it, and will be back again in 2025!

It was amazing. Behind the gates and I never wanted to leave. The golf course was phenomenal and the resort was just as fantastic. Already booked my wife's birthday trip for next year here!
