They might not be a big corporation hotel but the hospitality is what sold me. Debie was awesome. She treated us and everyone that came through those doors like family. We took our dog on vacation and she offered to care for him when we had to leave him in the room. I highly recommend this hotel if wanna feel like your home.

Expect the bare minimum

The only thing that was great was that the a/c worked wonderfully. There was no cable, the toilet stopped flushing, there were holes in one of the layers of blankets, we found corona bottle caps in the bed as well. It's just cosmetic but we noticed that the lampshades were stained too.

A bit hard to find due to no sign on building. Staff was helpful and friendly. Room was spacious. Close to Dunes National Park. Short walk to wonderful Mexican Restaurant with outdoor dining. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

The front desk people were very nice but the room has rust and is old and has various worn wood and other materials. The chain lock was pulled out of its socket but I didn’t bother to tell anyone. The room is supposed to be non-smoking but smelled like smoke. When I told the front desk person she said the building is 30 years old and then gave me air freshener spray which did help. Wouldn’t stay there again.
