Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The rooms are a bit older but everything was comfortable and clean. Mattresses were comfy as well. Service was polite. There is a restaurant in the building that opens for breakfast and dinner. I had the buffet and it was pretty standard. I was in their least expensive room so I do not know how the higher priced rooms are. Perfect for overnight travelers and the price was great.”
“I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was nice and spacious, as was the bathroom. The pool was open and the hot tub really took the edge off the day. The staff was friendly and helpful. It's in a tricky spot location wise, but easy to pick up. And a nice big tv to enjoy the classic Pulp Fiction. Very well done.”
