Best decision!!
Choose this as a road trip stop, after closely looking at all the hotel options and details--best decision!! Nice, newly renovated, spacious, clean, and awesome breakfast (omelets were refilled to the end, so you're not left with empty dishes and crumbs 10 minutes before bkft ends.) 😊Will absolutely choose again!

Relaxing overnight stay
The ladies at the front desk were attentive, accommodating, friendly and professional. The cleaning staff was as well. The room was impeccable, extremely comfortable and provided everything I needed and then some.

Nice property!
This is a very nice property. Comfy beds, nice decor, friendly staff, nice TVs and fixtures. Well worth the $150! The pool is clean and there's a nice communal seating area with welcome shade in the courtyard. The breakfast is average,but the sel-serve beer and wine bar in a plus...when it's up and running. Plenty of restaurants nearby.

This is the second time I stayed at this hotel. I really enjoy the cleanliness of the rooms and the ease of checking in. The hotel itself had lots of room for your own personal space.

Great place to stay.
This is a great place to stay for no frills. Great price, rooms are clean, staff was very courteous and attentive. Cute lounge area with nice breakfast and even a beer and wine bar. Nice outdoor space with a cute waterfall and a nice pavilion with fireplace. Convenient location to pretty much everything. We booked again in February for the Clydesdales show at The world equestrian center. Very nice stay.

Great stay for the $$
Staff were very nice and accommodating. Room was a good size and clean. Room was updated. Bathroom was small but had a new shower stall. Water pressure was not good. Bed was very comfortable. We had asked for extra pillows and they were there when we checked in. That never happens. Would definitely stay here again.

Basic older motel
Very basic motel that seemed rather old. The shower never got hot (just warm enough) and they were stingy with towels (2 bath towels, 2 washcloths and 1 hand towel). No closet. Bed was fine; pillows just okay; not soft and feathery. Breakfast decent. Not a great value for $170/night on a weekday.
