The hotel was not what was represented in the description or in the photos on the internet, and it did not meet our expectations. However, the room had everything we really needed when traveling with kids, including a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, dirty clothes bag, and ice. The cleanliness was an issue as the room appeared to have been neglected for some time.
Rooms
5.0
The room was dirty and had clearly not been properly cleaned for a while. It was not up to our standards.
Service
6.0
The service was nice and helpful, but they only replaced the 2 towels we already had when we were 5 guests in the room. The friendliness of the staff varied, but considering our late night arrival, it was acceptable.
Location
5.0
The location was pretty dicey, with a high presence of homeless people around the hotel. Despite this, it was close enough to restaurants and convenience stores for us to grab a meal. Unfortunately, the area felt unsafe, especially after 8 pm.
Dining
5.0
The dining experience was basic, and the resort manager kept a close eye on guests during breakfast. While the offerings were adequate, the atmosphere was uncomfortable.
Facilities
The facilities were minimal and nothing special. They served their purpose, but were not impressive or noteworthy.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room had some disappointing aspects with rude staff and bug-filled conditions, I was grateful for booking online in time. The service was barely acceptable given the late night arrival, though the friendliness of some staff members brightened the experience. The location was convenient for my family-related events, but the safety concerns and incidents nearby were unsettling. The dining options were basic, though adequate for a quick meal. Overall, my impression of the hotel was a combination of positives and negatives.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean, attractive, and very comfortable, but the strong fragrance smell was overwhelming. The service was not very friendly, especially with the issue of pretending not to hear guests. The location was convenient for my family-related events, but the noise level was a bit distracting. The dining options were adequate for a quick bite for the next day's drive.
