"It's a family run business, We got there 3 hours early, people just checked out, we just waited in the car thinking what to do next. I saw him give sign language to the housekeeping, begging to prioritize my room. I thought that was nice. Whenever I open my door, they are constantly sweeping outside. They are so caring, worried my car might get hit, park over there at the handicap space. It's wider, very friendly. One guest heard me tell the owners 'you guys are so nice' and she agreed and said this place is a hidden gem. New air-conditioned units which was great for my hot flashes. Plenty of parking spaces . Enjoyed my stay. Thanks."

"For some reason, the room type says that there is a microwave in the room, even though there is not. I don’t know if this is something on Expedia’s side or the hotel’s side, but that really needs to be changed. I stay here about every four months, and that room type has always said that there is a microwave. The front desk staff was okay, but he was very insistent that I had booked a single king instead of two queens. I had to verify it with him through my email, but luckily, he changed it as soon as I showed him. It feels like the place could still use some TLC, especially on the outside of the hotel, but it is definitely coming along. I’ll probably be back again in another four months."
