8/10 Very Good

Pretty good stay.
Room and grounds were clean, except that there was what appeared to be dried blood splattered on the back of the bathroom door. The water coming out of the sink smelled absolutely disgusting, like sewer water. The shower water didnt smell, but there wasnt enough hot water, and the pressure would go in and out. And also it would make a horrible sound. But the front desk was very friendly, and the rest of the room was clean and the bed was comfy.

Good road trip stop, clean and reliable
We have stayed here a few times now. Check in is easy. It is quick to get to from the freeway and has many amenities nearby. The property is well kept with landscaping and has a nice area to take the dog out. They gave us poop bags and a bag carrier for the dog which was nice. Our only issue is that the hot tub is never hot enough. Although we requested they turn up the heat, it never gets hot enough.

Not going here again
I waited in lobby to check in for 15 mins, nobody was there. Then my bathroom door had dry blood splashes on it, was gross, then be prepared to hear a jack hammer noise when someone uses showers in near by rooms, woke up at 7:45am to the noise and then when I took a shower it did same loud noise and hot warm runs out fast

Never stay when construction is going on
They were doing construction on the rooms above us. Much banging and loud noises at all hours of the day or night. They should have informed us of this and asked if we wanted another room. They just saw senior citizens and didn't care.

The room was dirty and you could hear the people in the rooms on each side of you. You could hear everything going on in the parking lot in front of your room. The shower made a loud noise when you would turn it on and the bed was terrible.
