We tried to point you in the right direction, allowed you to come in and use our restroom. Looked up a great location for a 1/3 of the price. We weren’t rude. We had already come up with a solution to a 3rd party over booking. You wanted to argue over something that wasn’t going to exist no matter how difficult it was to understand. We’re sorry for your experience and we would’ve wanted nothing more than to accommodate you, but we didn’t make your reservation, nor was it expected. Again, we are truly sorry. Next time give us holler and we’ll make it sure thing. Safe travels

The staff is very friendly and relaxed. The room very clean and comfortable and new. Great TV options. Lots of options for food and entertainment in walking distance. All around good experience. Next time we'll have to try the heated pool!

Thank you for the stellar review!! We really do Appreciate it. We are still working on the pool area.. but as soon as I shut it down families check in and the kids are so eager to jump in I open it up and let them enjoy. I will be closing it down for good next week and completing the renovation. Unfortunately we do not have a lobby. Butttt we do have coffee makers in all of our rooms. Hope next time you visit we’ll be able to deliver all that we have to offer. Thank you again for choosing us during your trip. It means the world. Til next time. Safe travels.
