Love the unique equestrian themed rooms. Wish there was lights that dimmed, the intense bright white LEDs in the room are too much. Water pressure is weak. Stayed here twice because the price is great and rooms are clean.

The staff and location of this property are excellent. I wouldn’t stay there again because the TV reception was horrible. I had to stay in the room for several hours due to illness and the tv buffers every ten seconds and the buffering lasts 40 to 50 seconds each time. It was awful and I was a captive audience. I should have taken a book with me.

The room was nice and the facility was clean. The only issues were the tv in our room was broken and not usable. The WiFi in our room was ok the first day, but not available the second day. It did still work in the lobby.

We were able to get a good price on the room, which was the main reason I chose the hotel because it was only for one night.. Keep in mind that it is more of a motel than a hotel. As a single mom, traveling with my daughter, I didn’t really like entering the rooms from the outside. There is traffic and noise around the hotel because it’s in a fairly busy area. It’s right near the mall. We also had quite a few ants in the room. It’s an old property that appears to be remodeled. I was not impressed with breakfast either. Not as good as the chain hotels. Overall, we were able to get this room quite a bit cheaper than the other chain hotels, and for one night it was good enough. There’s nothing wrong with the hotel per se, but it does have an older motel vibe. If you can get a really good price, it’s probably worth it if you’re going for a night or two and need something inexpensive.

The customer service at front desk was really great. I cannot recall her name but she was very helpful. We arrived about 5:15-5:30. The property seems dated but mostly clean. Very offputting to find hair (not ours) before we have used the bathroom. We appreciated the information about the quiet hours. The next door room had very loud TV and speaking or these are not well insulated walls. Luckily did not go on all night.
