10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely loved our stay here! The front desk staff was friendly, and check-in was quick and easy. Our room was spotless, with clean surfaces and everything well-dusted. The location is super convenient—just minutes away from Walmart, Target, fast food options, and the highway. The kids had a blast in the pool, which was well-maintained and clean. I would definitely stay here again!

Tammy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice owners and property was very comfortable

6/10 Good

Check-in was simple but the staff was as not friendly. There was a slight musty odor to the room and not enough towels. There were also 3 black pubic hairs in the shower, I quickly removed them before my husband went in the bathroom. I never expect perfection but that is gross. The bed was ok for comfort, I liked the 5 pillows.
