10/10 Excellent
"They let us check in an hour early which I thought was way cool and the lobby and hallways were nice and clean. Friendly room cleaning crew greeted us with a smile and thatโ€™s always nice. The hotel and the room didnโ€™t stink at all and thatโ€™s important for someone like me who has a hypersensitive Covid induced sense of smell. Breakfast highlight was the pancakes and the low light the watery scrambled eggs. My only concern is during late afternoon if youโ€™re spending any time in your room you can hear, very loudly everybodyโ€™s room door slam shut. Pros:Accommodated a one-hour early check-in.Spotlessly clean lobby and hallways.Wonderfully friendly housekeeping staff.Completely odor-free rooms (perfect for anyone with a sensitive sense of smell).Delicious pancakes at breakfast. Cons:Watery scrambled eggs.Poor acoustic isolationโ€”you can loudly hear doors slamming shut all afternoon.Verdict: A good stay, but definitely overpriced at $300.00/night. Iโ€™d only return at a lower rate. I would stay here again but not at $300.00 a night."

"Check-in process took longer than I would've liked. Room was very nice, the only issue was the coffee pot was not cleaned out. Resort was nice, especially enjoyed the Coho Cafรฉ. We also used the indoor hot tub, which was nice but had to search for the switch to make it run, as it was not next to the hot tub. Also, getting ice was a walk, and not in the building. Overall we liked the resort and would stay again."

"We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the motel! The exterior gives real old-school, Route 66 type vibes. The room was large, with a huge comfy bed. The sheets were soooo soft and good pillows too. There was a fridge and microwave. The room had a ceiling fan which was sufficient most of the time, but also a small AC unit when needed. The shower was a good pressure and temperature. Dan the host was very welcoming. Parking right outside the room."
