This is a good budget-friendly option. Not a lot of frills. High traffic area, better for car travel than walking, not many dining options nearby.
Very nice place looks can be a little deceiving from the outside but definitely great in the inside. I had a back room. I loved the little patio in the back with the table and chairs as well. Will definitely visit there again.

What I liked most was that the staff were kind and loving.They respected my privacy and allowed me to rehearse uninterrupted.Sometimes I get loud when I rehearse because I am an entertainer.I really dont know if I am going to continue pursuing entertainment.It is fun but all i really want is Love.When people show you love thats the most important thing to me especially from a business.Anyway #Hollywood out

The sign at the property was broken the door key did not always work 2 fire extinguishers were out of date there were broken bricks everywhere and things such as loose wires its all good it doesnt take much to please me I am happy just having a roof over my head but i could see these things being problems for future customers.

The manager was very helpful and the property was clean. The hotel is old and shows its age.
Great location for our scuba diving trip to the Blue Heron Bridge. Only complaints were toilet was acting up and water took several minutes to get hot. Oh and the pillows were hard. Would stay again but would bring our own pillows. Great staff. Very friendly.
Our room was out back so it was quiet. Our room was updated and clean. The owner at the Front desk was very nice. We decided to stay an extra night and he had availability!! We woukd stay again.
Hotel was full of mole had to call health department on them was sick coughing all night long couldn't sleep had to leave full and this is a health hazard. Hotels.com should close this place down.
Overall our stay was fine. The staff member was friendly and worked hard to make sure we had what we needed in the room. There is no pool but that was a non-factor for us. The room was a bit dated but nice and clean and well maintained. The location was great being within driving distance of major area attractions. We would return next time we are in the area.
