Family room - just right!
I stayed in the 3 bed family room with my daughter and 3 grandsons. Big room with a big bathroom. It is clean and modern. Great location, near a grocery store, liquor store and a few restaurants. The heated pool is inside a pergola type structure, protected and private. Friendly office staff. I would stay here again.

Very pleased with our 3 queen bed room. Lots of space. Clean. Comfortable beds. Large bathroom. Smaller full size refrigerator in our room and a keurig with K cups provided. Lots of towels. We were too busy to use the pool. Hotel was in a nice location. Dennys across the street is very convenient. Plenty of receptacles for charging phones. Very pleased with our stay.

Pay at property doesn’t apply even if offered
It was a nice stay. Nothing spectacular about it. The front desk are young people who are on their cell phones at check in and check out. Not very informative or friendly. If you pick pay at property they still charge your card a few days before check in.
