Staff was excellent.
Facilities were average.
Price for lodging was pretty good for facilities provided.
Nice place to stay. The motel is older but the room was very clean, paint appeared fresh, the room was large and the furniture was in good shape. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked well to cool the room quickly. The bar had very good food and the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely stay there again. Only complaint regarding the amenities is that I wish the bar was open later.

Unfortunately, the TV in our room did not work during our stay. I called the front desk for assistance, but no one answered. I left a message and never received a return call, which was disappointing.
On a positive note, the staff at the bar/lounge were wonderful, friendly, attentive, and provided great service. They were definitely a highlight of our stay.
I have stayed here a few times and I have been greeted by Donald with such kindness the last 3 times. He makes such we are comfortable in the room we are given and informs us on local events, which is very helpful!
The room was spacious and clean. The staff were friendly. On the down side, our window overlooked a sandy area where people practice putting. The air condition started smelling like rotten eggs (sulfur) in the late evening. I called the front desk and was told that that was normal because of the water pumps outside. The front desk was locked around 10:15 am when I went to refill my water bottle and ask for hot water for tea, and there was a note saying it wouldn’t be opening until 11 AM, which was checkout time. Nonetheless, the room sufficed and the bed was comfortable.
Very convenient free parking, quiet, restful, and a very helpful staff. I would stay here again.

The room was good and clean. It was difficult to know where the office was located. No signs anywhere once you park your car in the parking lot. Bar food was good and the bartender provided great customer service.
Interesting place. If your golfer, it’s probably pretty good, as it’s on a little pitching putt or driving range. I only saw the driving range, although I think there’s more there. The “Lodge“ is better than Motel 6, but not much. Two tiny double beds, a AC that couldn’t keep up and no outlets for my medical device close to my bed. Can’t sleep without my CPAP, so I left at 11 PM. Sadly, won’t be back. For $10 more I could stay at Sonesta with a one bedroom suite
Very quiet, safe place to stay. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating!

Peaceful stay for 3 young girls but main door to our room had to be slammed in order for it to latch we came back to the room a couple times and seen we left it open. Spiders kept popping up throughout the stay in our bed, bathroom, and sink we finally looked up and cobwebs were pretty much everywhere on ceiling. Other than that would stay again due to great scenery and amenity’s provided just a heads up if those things bother you.
