"Will Return!"

Very clean hotel, good breakfast, will return.

Verified Review, stayed from Mon Aug 18 to Tue Aug 19 2025 at a $79.99 average nightly rate.

"Awful"

Weeds growing up to the windows gave us our first impression, which was accurate. Check in with a kiosk is ridiculous and didn't have one English speaking person available. Only clean room every three days so would have to try and find someone to get you a towel. Awful smell!!
