We’ve stayed at this property many times between 2017 and now, and it was mostly wonderful. However, we took a couple of years off and just came back to stay here in 2026. Unfortunately, it seems that the property has had a steep decline. The rooms are in pretty bad shape and need remodeling badly. Although the room was very clean, everything (walls, fixtures, furniture, etc) seems to be at the end of its lifespan or beyond. The staff was very friendly and the pool is also really nice. I appreciated the free parking and the proximity to a restaurant and a convenience store that we could walk to. With a few renovations, this hotel could be a 10/10.

Everything was perfect!! We came for one night for a concert, it was the most comfortable experience ever. The staff at the lobby were extremely kind and were so excited to take pictures for their polaroid wall. Beds are really comfortable, shower and bathroom all good as well. Great parking spots. The Crust Kitchen restaurant on the area was also a great breakfast spot. We really only have positive notes, absolutely making it our go-to hotel for next trips!

I stayed here for one night before my surgery. The staff was friendly and the room was nice. They didn’t have early check in so they let me hang out at the pool. I checked in last night after surgery. The staff was not as friendly or helpful. My room was not that clean and I had no hot water.
