Top Turtle Playground Hotel Reviews

beautiful small house

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay , host was very attentive . Easy to check in . Clean. Definitely would stay again. Kitchen had everything I needed . Multiple gas stations, fast food, and highway nearby. Beds were comfortable. Just FYI , the tub is very high. But manageable ."

2 bedroom 5 bed in the heart of Dog Town

8/10 Good

"We had a good experience with this property. It was easy to access and I didn't have any trouble reaching the host. Dogtown is a quirky area. We were familiar with it and it worked well for us, but the area is a little gritty which could be surprising if you aren't familiar with it. It seemed like a couple of the nearby buildings were empty, for example. The place is above a garage, which we didn't realize when we booked it. It worked well for us with kids because we didn't have to be very concerned about noise. The place was generally clean and basics provided, but not a lot of extras. We were surprised that we couldn't find any sheets for the sofa beds though. There is a street lamp right outside of the main bedroom. There were blinds, but a lot of light got through. Overall it worked well for us given the price."
