Not what we thought….

Says daily housekeeping, never received except one day and I had to hunt the girl down and tell her to clean. Older property, decent shape, pool area and ground kept up with. Rooms are dated but not bad definitely not spending more time at this room other than to sleep. A lot of homeless or randoms hanging around the pool and grounds (kinda sketchy). One of the things that was the most disturbing was other guest at the pool who were definitely participating in recreational items around the pool with kids and stumbling around the pool and making it very uncomfortable with our kids. One girl was pretty much unconscious in the hot tub with a guy holding her head up (so she wouldn’t drown). So this was not the best experience for us. Again, staff was friendly, rooms older but ok, grounds were nice.

Smart stay for a Roadtrip

Very friendly staff and the reception was amazing. The hotel was the cheapest of my roadtrip and it outperformed other big names… 100% the right choice

I didn't like when somebody that's above the room we're in at 11:30 at night running around that it sound like a herd of horses. I had to call the office twice to have them stop the noise. They did offer to move us to another room but honestly I'd 11:30 at night we were tired and didn't feel like packing up and moving to another room. The hotel was clean, breakfast was okay. The location is good too. Other than the one night of hell I would say it was fine.
