WOW! My boyfriend and I stayed in this cozy little hotel because we couldn't find any camping spots nearby. This place was great! Very clean, updated inside, CLEAN hardwood floors that obviously get scrubbed, marble bathroom sink and floor, beautiful bathroom, super comfy beds, and ahhh, the feather down pillows were icing on the cake! We slept so well!!! The large flatscreen TV was awesome. I thought that the shuttered windows were a cute touch as well. We had a microwave and large fridge in our room, too. No sign of bedbugs or bugs of any kind (thank god!). We will definitely be staying here again!

Quiet place and good spot to reach other towns. We chose a room with two beds and it had a wide sink area. The bathroom was small and the door touched the toilet which made it hard to close a bit, but overall the experience was great. The blankets were warm and the heater was nice.

Although the rooms are dated the customer service beyond made up for it, they cleaned the room and kept it well stocked everyday. House keeping is well organized. There's no breakfast included but the location puts you within a mile of many stores and restaurants. Pricing was fair give the location being close to the theme parks.

This place reminds me of the EconoLodge’s of the 90’s and early 2000’s. Cheap, clean, great service. If you just need a clean room with great service and people who care, this is the place. You cannot beat the prices here and the people are nice and they want you to have a good stay with them. And it is SAFE. Outside is well-lit and the front desk can see everyone who comes in and out of the parking lot. Kudos to the owners for their integrity.

This place is an excellent option for the price. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms and liked the solid wood-like floors (no carpet). Never saw any bugs or critters and the furniture was clean & modern. Room had no funky smells which was a pleasant surprise at $59 a night. Lots of channels on the tv and overall really easy & nice experience!
