9.2/10 Wonderful! (305 reviews)
This is a unique gem, neat theme, absolutely massive store like a Love's or Buccees, but has 11 rooms attached. Free parking for the weary traveler, safe and well lit, and fully stocked with food, beer, liquor, and a walk in humidor! They have arcade games and a pool table. The rooms are massive and you will be speechless at what you get for the price. Lastly, the beds...you'll sleep better than at home, they will satisfy anyone. The TVs are not as big as they should be, and the wifi is a bit weak, probably because again the basic room is bigger than most 1 bed apartments! The wifi password isn't shown anywhere and I hope they get those little paper sleeves for the room cards and put it on there. I simply called the front desk and a kind gentleman quickly answered. What can I say for the price, this place is GEM STATUS! The attached fueling station, the overhead pavilion and pumps are like I have never seen, it's in the shape of a horseshoe! 10/10 Guys, just book it!

7.8/10 Good! (216 reviews)
We stayed for one night with smaller kids. We didn’t have a shower curtain upon arrival but the front office was quick to get us one. The pool water was freezing. The staff said they turned the heater on but by the time we left it was still cold. Floors were a little dirty in the room, ice machine was down, bed was comfortable, and breakfast was decent! We would stay here again and maybe call before to have the pool heater turned on prior to the stay.

Staff was very nice and helpful. Dan at the front desk made us all laugh with his dad jokes. Hotel room was spacious and clean. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
