    Absolutely enjoyed this property, for a quick getaway. I especially enjoyed the patio out to the courtyard, it was so cute and the lush landscaping was beautiful. Room was very spacious, beds comfortable and shower was very spacious. Definitely will recommend and hopefully stay again soon.

    Our family has enjoyed staying at this establishment for years. We love the balcony, the spaciousness of the rooms, the pool. However, we found the floor was dirty. The balcony light was not working. We found a dirty rag outside our door one day. The shower curtain and the balcony curtain were missing some hooks. The place seems tired.

    This is a nice motel with a wonderful interior courtyard and pool with lush tropical trees and flowers and an outdoor bar that also offers food from the Crocodile Restaurant. Bartender Elias is a definite plus - personable, fun, and professional. We really enjoyed our brief stay.

    Great size room, huge balcony, restaurant and bar are very good. We did have to call front desk at bedtime due to one of the alarms would beep every 5mins, which maintenance came over very fast and fixed the problem

    Not bad for the price. TV didn’t work .

    The hotel is okay, central location with decent parking. The pool looks nice, and it boasts a restaurant on site that really is a gem. The facility itself is just an old motel with some paint, some mildew smell, and no real amenities to speak of. Beds are ok, wall heat and air units are loud, bathroom shower has some mildew, and some very large cobwebs in the room corners

    Setting, patio, room Shower curtain was poorly rigged and fell off

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The parking was very convenient, and the room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. However, I was quite disappointed to find that the bedsheets had not been changed and there were still blood stains on them. Other than the bedsheets, everything else was clean and convenient.

    It felt like we went on a plane when we actually drove 2.5 hours for a getaway. Thank you

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Pool was nice - about the only thing good that I can say about the facility. I was awakened in the middle of the night with a mattress spring digging into my back. Additionally, the floors were dirty to walk on, sheets were scratchy, and amenities were meager. I expected much, much better for the price that we paid for the room.
