"The added cost for amenities (pool,fitness ,wifi) i can see a charge for wifi but not the others. Parking was also expensive. But other wise the hotel was fine."

HiMark

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was in the back of the property. It was quiet with no road noise from the highway. We had the king size room with jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower. It was very comfortable. The bed was soft and cozy. Free parking was a very nice touch for that area. The property was a 10 minute walk to a beach area, 15 minute walk to some trails up in the trees and only a few minutes from the stateline. I have no complaints. Was worth our price."
