“Owner is Hot Tempered and Hostile...”

Reviewed May 17, 2013 NEW

I originally booked through Reservation-Desk.com...traveling with two older teens. I phoned the hotel to confirm our request to be first floor, near the pool. I spoke with David, at the front counter -- pleasant conversation. He informed me of the "adult" pool and the "family" pool. I asked to be closer to the family pool. As we hung, an after... More

“Clean at a Good Price”

My room was clean and spacious with a good bed. AC worked well and no noise from the neighbors. The two pools were great--one for kids and one for the adults. Overall, a very good bargain at $89 a night.

“Dumpy old tourist trap”

Reviewed May 13, 2013

Sad. This was probably once a decent, generic property but now it is just a place collecting money and none of it is going back into the property. Reminds me of a favorite motel I used to like in the midwest when I was a child in the 70's that has changed hands 3 times since and had no mantainance.... More

The location is GREAT - the hotel average. BUT DO NOT have a problem and take it up at the front desk! The staff is nice and professional.

“A very good bargain!”

Reviewed April 19, 2013

Spent three nights at this facility in late March. The rooms were spacious, comfortable. Ours looked out over one of the two pool areas [one for families, i.e. kids; one for adults]. Complementary continental breakfast every AM was plentiful and well stocked [bagels, cereal, juice, coffee, pre-packaged Danish]. Grounds very nicely kept. Very convenient to downtown, the Aerial Tramway. Our... More

“Nothing Special”

Reviewed April 14, 2013

The hotel doesn't stand out in any way; it's just a plain large hotel that doesn't offer much. There are two pools and a sauna but meh it looks like an apartment's building pool- nothing special. The room is quite large and kept clean but that should be expected of any hotel. Major letdown is when it came to their... More
