Overpriced

Room service food and alcoholic drinks were amazing . Concept is cool.

Almost 300 dollars for what looks like a remodeled super 8 room, no fridge, microwave, safe. Tiny bathroom, don't buy poolside room for a pool and hot tub that close early as heck. Next day went too a 100 dollar a night room, way more comfortable with a later pool time and a real bathroom.

Passable

It was refreshing to have normal sized toiletries in the bathroom, including liquid hand soap.

It seemed an overpriced niche market that doesn’t appeal to us. We would have preferred somewhere less hippie and more air conditioned.

One of a kind.

Their staff is wonderful. And the entertainment and activities that they offer are ones that NO OTHER PLACE offers!!! It is a one of a kind place. A Gem! Mercedes is the best, most fun staff person ever!! We always look forward to seeing her!

Terrible.

The guy at the front desk was very professional and helpful.

The pictures from online are very deceiving. This property is sold as an upscale hotel, when in fact it is a low-end motel. The walls are paper thin, the rooms are insecure, the price is outrageous for what you get, and the pool is overcrowded. We were there a total of 15 minutes and left. The people 4 rooms down were having an argument and we heard every word. I would like a refund.

Great value for a cool hotel

The staff was very attentive. I stayed due to an impending snowstorm and they made the stay great. The offered to let me use a conference room for a zoom call and even brought be a robe when I was in the hot tub! They are doing some cosmetic work to the front of the building so was tentative when I came I . But with the wonderful staff and nice amenities it’s a great place to stay. And a cool place to have a family weekend (there’s and arcade m/pool/outdoor games).

The bleach smell after cleaning was strong in my room, but the switches me rooms immediately.

Why I rate this place so high is because of the staff they are the most friendly people I have ever met. I have never been greeted in such a way that I felt I was visiting old friends. They upgraded my room when they realized how big my dogs were so it would be easier for me to take them out. When I ordered food it was brought to my room and again a really friendly experience. If you need a place to stay in the area just stay here I don’t normally write reviews but I wanted to show the staff my appreciation in some way.

Came with friends for football weekend

The pool side room availability, dimmer switches and the arcade! WONDERFUL for families

Needs a little sprucing. Very cute concept, they are getting there. Staffing seemed short and hope some restaurants establish around the location

The price of the hotel was too high for the quality and location of the hotel.

The location was good. The hotel was clean.

The blinds should open from the bottom so you do not have to close the blinds completely for privacy. No elevators hard to bring luggage up all stairs. You should help elderly people if you place them on second floor.

We had a 2 night stay to visit our daughter at school. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the bar.

The breakfast was very good. Presented very well. The decor was unique. We loved the bar atmosphere. The pool was very inviting however we did not have our swim suits. The staff was very helpful.

The price was very high due to it being parents weekend for the university. The lighting in the hallway was a little dark and uninviting. There were dogs barking.
