It's a fun hideaway, I didn't like the location (behind gas station subject to heavy traffic) but it was comfortable place for a weekend. I didn't have a chance to visit the grill or bar...maybe next time. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly. Nice visit.

The service was outstanding, the check in person was very friendly and explained everything to me. The room was great, the bed was a little soft for my liking but I still slept great. We were right next to the pool and it was loud but right at 10pm, the pool closed and the kids had to stop which was nice. The donuts in the morning were great and a nice touch. All in all, will be back again.

This is a pet-friendly accommodation, and while we don’t have a pet ourselves, I left with multiple bites on my lower legs after standing near the bed shortly before checkout. The itching started immediately, and the pattern suggests flea bites—likely from a previous guest’s pet, given the carpeted floor. I’d recommend the property inspect and treat the room to avoid this happening to future guests. Other than that, the hotel is newer, with a nice seating area and firepit. The water pressure was quite weak, though.
