We booked for a volleyball tournament. Close to everything, clean, and my kids liked to pool to unwind after being in a gym all day watching volleyball. The only downside was the traffic noise outside our room, but it quieted by midnight and didnt pick up again until 7am'ish.

Good but bad drive

The hotel was nice. The only thing that’s not great is the drive way is right in a curve and it’s scary getting out of their drive way with oncoming traffic.

Everything was good except……the dumpster truck coming at 330am and slamming the dumpsters waking us up. Also the walls are super thin between the rooms, so you can hear everyone around your room’s conversations. Have stayed here many times and will continue to do so when traveling to the area.

Found a couple different dark hairs on towel and sheets. Also, there was no hand soap of any kind , but the desk clerk got us some. Otherwise things were fine enough. Only place we could find under $100 a night.

Check in was easy. John, at the desk, did let me know the property requires a $50 deposit even if you have prepaid the reservation. They hold it in case of damage to the room. My room had a Keurig coffee maker, iron, and ironing board in the room. Breakfast is danish, cereal, fruit, milk and coffee. You can get refill coffee pods at the desk anytkme. They also have a little store on site for other items to eat. There is a water bottle refill machine so you don't have to keep buying water at a store. There are plenty of eating restaurants near the motel. The outside pool has plenty of seats for guests. The property is along a busy street, but the noise is not too bad. My room faced the pool, so it buffered the sound. I would definitely stay here again.
