affordable stay

thin walls

Super affordable and oh so convenient! My room was clean, spacious, and surprisingly comfy-definitely not luxury but it did the trick for one night.

Let's just say the walls have ears, and they might not want to hear your late-night activities! I nearly called for a police escort out of there!

The room was affordable and the staff was pleasant.

Both nights that I stayed there were no towels in the room. This was quickly corrected by the staff, however.

I especially enjoyed the bright and clean appearance of my standard queen room with a lovely mini fridge. The staff were very friendly.

A few more grab bars in the shower would help.

Staff is always friendly, the place is always spotless, and the upgraded rooms add to the comfort.

Pillows are a bit hard, could use an upgrade there.

I gotta say, the people behind the front desk were fast and friendly, a relief, ya know. The bed was comfortable despite the weird smell in the room.

It wasn't exactly cheap but it was alright for the night.

Had a comfortable and cozy standard queen room that felt inviting.

The air conditioning unit was excessively noisy, making it hard to enjoy a quiet evening.

We loved the convenience of exploring the local golf course and nearby parks. The staff were friendly.

One bummer was the noisy air conditioning that kept turning on and off all night, tough to sleep.
