What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Room was very clean comfortable sleeping the restaurant downstairs had a great food reasonably priced and they also had secure parking so we didn’t have to worry about our items in the back of our vehicle, pet friendly”
“I didn't stay here... the front desk girl was very rude. I asked her to show me a room to decide if I would chose to stay here and she handed me a crapy picture and said... here you go, you can see the rooms right here. So I didn't stay but the restaurant is awesome, every dish I ordered was absolutely delicious... homemade tortillas so yummy and one more thing that will knock your socks off... CONCHAS!!! homemade Mexican bread filled w cream cheese inside... I thought the flavor was going to be overwhelming, but it wasn't. This bread is a must... when you visit this place.”
“The hotel was nice and the airconditioning was cold and the food was good at the in hotel restaurant but don't drink the bottled water provided in your room it has the hotel logo, also the restaurant serves alcohol... remember it's a good place just don't drink the madan bottled water that's why they get 4 stars not 5”
“Conveniently right off the highway with a good little restaurant in house. The bed and the pillows were hard and not comfortable however. Dog friendly and good room service. It also has locked very secure parking...a big plus.”
“Very happy with this hotel. They have an enclosed, guarded parking lot 1 block away from the main entrance. Room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. We had a limited-mobility person with us and had no problems. We had breakfast in the attached restaurant and breakfast was excellent at a reasonable price. Service was attentive.”
