Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
When I checked they gave me a room that was already occupied. I opened the door and there was someone in the room. The manager seemed to think that was humorous. It could have been disastrous. The room is dingy and dirty. The phone was not working. The towel rack in the bathroom fell off when I reached for the towel. I would never stay here again and would hesitate to book through Expedia again.

everything here was great including the breakfast, the highway turns does make it a bit hard to get into as you have to pass it up and turn around somewhere.

Absolutely loved it.

We absolutely loved this hotel! We had the pool to ourselves, the breakfast was really great, there’s always someone at the desk willing to help. I do wish that the pillows were a bit more firm, but next time I’ll have to bring my own. Only downside about the 2nd floor was being under someone else’s room but you get that just about anywhere.
