A perfect night away.

The check in process was so easy. Parking was no problem. And then we saw our room. It was perfect. Super clean. Completely remodeled and upgraded. The hotel was super close to some great restaurants and activities. We played pool at the local bar. The cafe the next morning was amazing, quick and efficient, and my drink was so good. We will absolutely be back for a longer stay so we can utilize the pool and fire pit and beach cruisers.

I booked this stay solely based off of the reviews. I do not understand how it is rated 9.2 stars? The lobby and cafe area are pristine for sure. The room has a terrible smell when walking into it which makes you automatically think its dirty. The rooms are like a Motel 6, everything just has just been repainted and cute little sayings and artwork has been updated. Furniture, showers and everything are just as old as the original property. Noisy as well from being right off the highway but I expected that. No way in hell is this place worth almost $200 a night.

Friendly staff, nice cafe with good food and coffee. We saw 2 bugs in our room but found it to be mostly clean. Comfortable beds and free parking. The pool is nice and they have a fireplace going at night. The price is its primary selling point and I would probably stay here again for a short stay.
