Rocky driveway in so watch your car, rooms are extremely dated and not very clean. Prices are cheap and service is ok. My dad insisted on the cheapest room and stayed here twice now. It doesn't bother him and says it's fine as long as it's only 1 or 2 nights.
Ate at the attached restaurant,tacos were good,need to make them a little less hard and a little more soft..then you got a crowd showing up not just locals..
Excellent property with great location and it's well maintained. The rooms are wonderful and the restroom was clean. The service is also good by the hotel staff, which impress me the most. The price was amazing. They have the good Mexican restaurant with the hotel. would definitely stay there again.
Very happy with it for the price. Got in very late and was still able to secure a room without trouble. Staff were great. Suggestion for the staff: maybe shampoo the carpets? Otherwise it was quite clean.
Kind staff there are willing to do the job of making sure your stay is as comfortable as possible and have a variety of room designs to fit your needs. Happily I'll stay there again.
