"We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The pool was nice along with the hot tub. Very clean. Good breakfast. "

"I had read several mixed reviews so I was unsure what to expect. The gal at the front desk was very helpful and kind. Check-in and out was smooth and easy. My room was clean. In order to have a balcony that looks out over the pool, you'll need to request that. My balcony looked over the back of the property towards Target and it wasn't anything to write home about. The balcony was very small on that side. The other side may be the same, but not big enough for even a chair - very narrow. The rest of the room amenities were fine. The coffee machine in the room was gross and unusable, seemed dirty so I didn't mess with it. Should upgrade to Keurig type coffee makers. TV was basic B. Local channels and weird menu and no Netflix etc. Hotel is close to anything you need. The outdoor pool was great - lots of sun and plenty of chairs. Ask for pool towels at front desk. Breakfast was basic, but fine. Eggs, sausage, B&G, toast, muffins, yogurt, peanut butter, apples, oatmeal choices, coffee, tea, cereal, milk. Bed was comfy and I collapsed at the end of a long day and slept great. I love the 11am checkout time and hung out at the pool after checkout waiting for my ride and ate lunch. A nice addition would be a bench or patio outside somewhere for early morning hang before the pool opens. I wanted to read outside in early morning, but there was nowhere to go. I did think the $146 price tag was a big high for what it was. Nothing was wrong but it seemed high for the product."

"Hotel was great! It's a little dated, but everything was super clean and the room was very comfortable. Plus it included a free hot breakfast (the food was fresh cooked on site) and free snacks and DINNER! I've stayed in a lot of places and I've never seen one that offered that. First night was pulled pork sliders, coleslaw, mac & cheese, salad, veggies, etc. Second night was chicken, Alfredo sauce, pasta, baked potato bar, salad, etc. Snacks include hot dogs, popcorn, and nachos. There are a couple of really good restaurants within walking distance (Sugar Fire and Psghetti's) if you don't want to eat at the hotel. Wifi was free and although we didn't use it, the pool looked great and there were people in it whenever we walked by. Staff was very warm and welcoming, too. Overall a great place to stay!"

"Loved it "

"Very clean and quiet property. We loved that it was repurposed from an old Catholic school and the theme was really cool"
