It's a little on the old side. It could use some refreshing up. To put your head down for a night it's not a bad stay. Wouldn't want to stay longer then that.

This is the best "motel" I might have ever stayed at! It was clean and well decorated. You could find some blemishes... but you'll have to look hard. Though there weren't any special features to the pool, it was clean and well maintained. We spend a lovely afternoon bobbing in the pool

Super easy check in, happily granted request for a ground floor room because my husband had a pinched nerve. For a ground floor room, it was surprisingly quiet. Room was clean, so was fridge and microwave. It's close enough to the action yet far enough that it's not super loud and rowdy. There is a super cute quick eats setup near the reception w liquor, beer, sodas, snacks and instant food options. We will definitely be back!!

The price for my room was incredibly high (I assume due to Stagecoach), so I was hoping for something decent . The room itself - which was advertised as “premium” - lacked cold water in the bathroom sink, and the fridge completely froze all of my groceries. I tried to adjust the temperature, but to no avail. You could hear noise from other rooms, but since I was facing the hills at least there was no traffic noise. Other than those things, the bed was comfy and the location was convenient. The pool & hot tub had nice views of the hills, and seemed clean enough (definitely lots of chemicals used).

The floors need to be swept or mopped…. More than just vacuumed. There was a lot of sandy-like dirt and dust on the floor that the vacuuming is not picking up…. so if you walk around barefoot in the room, your feet got very dirty. Also, our toilet had to be plunged as the poop was not going down after 7 flushes. The beds and linens, TV, coffee maker, lighting, air conditioning, door locks, pool and jacuzzi were all great. The women’s toilet area by the pool needs to be recaulked at the baseboards…. The baseboards were totally separated from the wall.
