We had issue with gnats probably caused by a previous guest having fruit in the room. we should have said something immediately but we were tired and didn't want to bother. in the morning we told the manager and he apologized and graciously compensated us for the inconvenience. An excellent way to run a business!

The staff here is very friendly and accommodating. You can tell the rooms have been freshly renovated as well. I would definitely stay here again. It's normally always a reasonable price and if you need to add a night the next day it's normally not an issue. The only complaint I have is that there are children that live on the property and sometimes they can be a little noisy. Other than that it's super solid.

At 3am on the morning some one open our room door, the door got the little chain inside that's why no one get into the room, my sons and i just woke up and start yelling why you open my room and the guy just ran away. The day after i went to the registration to let them know what's happened and they said probably the room service got confused.

This property has been renovated and the man at the front desk was nice but the pictures on Expedia deceive. The area seemed sketchy when I drove up but I wanted to be open minded since I had prepaid. From the windowless van in the lot to the darkened lobby to the stale stench of smoke in the room, we stayed long enough to go to the bathroom then bolted. I was too scared to go back up front and discuss cancelation- just went somewhere else. In my defense, the pics were nice and I was thinking cool lodge vibe like Great Wolf. I have officially been fired from picking out hotels. Don’t stay here.
