“Will not be back!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We were there on a family vacation. The reason we chose this hotel was because it was within walking distance to the hot springs. Well, when we arrived the rooms were an odd configuration. My daughter did love this because she had her own bed and nook. Neither our bathroom nor my parents bathroom had any cabinet top space. Our drain did not drain so the next person had to wait about 20 minutes to take a shower. The shower curtain was filthy and even had a bougar on it. How GROSS it that. The breakfast, well at least it was free. And the worst part was I had to ask the staff to heat the pool. I mean really it was advertised as heated. I read one of the other reviews that said the pool was also cold. They were nice enough to heat it up, but my daughter had to wait until the next day to swim there. I ended up just taking her over to the hot spring pool which was great. Staff members were very nice and helpful.

Room Tip: Tour your room before you check in and test pool water.

“Great place to stay, this place had it all for cheap.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2011

This was a great place to stay. Very cozy and clean, with a hot tub and pool. It cost our family of four more to eat dinner then to stay at this place.

“Clean and friendly with great views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2011

This is a good value and a basic, clean room. No frills, just what you need to feel comfortable and "at home". An extended continental breakfast is offered in the morning in a separate room ( not in the lobby like some places). Also, nice hot tub in a separate room away from the pool. The friendly staff was helpful and accomodating.

“NEVER stay in this establishment”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2011

We selected this motel based on AAA guidebook recommendation. The first clue should have been the lack of cars in the parking lot as it was getting late in the evening. I read the agreement (or thought I did) , signed in for one night and received a room key. The place has not been updated since the 50's. Did not smell fresh, everything was old and out of date. When I returned to say I could not stay there the desk clerk then stated I must pay 20% of the room rate. Early checkout which was anywhere from one minute to 30 minutes, required payment of 20%. I have never heard of this before but I was told "It's our policy." That must be how they make their money. It certainly would not be from repeat customers. Do your self a favor and stay some where else.
