"Like all the other reviews say, the property is little dated, but it is an excellent place to stay for the night, bed sheets were nice and clean, the place is smack dead in the middle of town. Location is perfect. Staff was friendly. Easy check-in and easy checkout. Would definitely stay again."
"Friendly staff, excellent food. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. The room we stayed in could use a bit of updating (replace broken floor tiles in the bathroom, new carpet in room, some cosmetic updates). Otherwise it was a beautiful place to stay!"
"Stay was nice. Breakfast area was cramped busy no place for us to sit for breakfast. Pool area is very slippery I almost fell trying to get to the pool. "
"We had a dog and I was surprised how clean the room was that we stayed in. They have a designated hall for guests with dogs so I thought they wouldn't be as nice but our room was clean and smelled normal. The area outside to take your dog was clean, easily accessible and set up perfect to take your pet out.
The breakfast options were great and the staff member was great with keeping up with demand of food items.
Plenty of space in the bathroom to get ready as well as mirror and ledge next to it to get ready. Very convenient. "
"Everything was great except Expedia put us down for only one night when I requested two nights. Treetops was most accommodating and arranged for the second night without any problems. "
