The property is old but it has been tastefully renovated. The room as are very clean and comfortable. Would have liked to have a safe in the room though.

This hotel is exactly what you see online. Well tended, updated, clean and comfortable. The Tikki Hut is a happening place all day long. The lighting in room is “off” but everything else was just fine. Owners clearly care about this place and staff are great.

The curb appeal was to my liking. The front desk guy James was pleasant, i called about getting another iron because the one in the room was working properly. And he was rude about it. The beds is hard as crap. But the rooms do look like the photos that is on the site.

The room was dirty—fresh looking stains on the sheets and all surfaces crusty/smudged looking. As we walked to our room, we noticed many of the rooms had plastic covering the windows from the inside. Also, we were getting something out of our car and someone pulled up and sat there looking at us until we closed the trunk. All of the gas stations nearby had their bathrooms closed. We overall didn’t feel clean, safe, or comfortable so we actually left in the middle of the night. They gave us a free drink voucher…. Please put money and effort into areas that matter, if y’all can.

Dear Willow,I have carefully reviewed your feedback and would like to address a few concerns you raised. Let me break it down for you. Our housekeeping process follows a specific procedure: first, a team removes all linen, including blankets and shower curtains, from each room after a guest's stay. Then, another team member replaces the linen with fresh ones. Subsequently, the room is thoroughly cleaned by the housekeeper. Finally, a housekeeping supervisor inspects the room to ensure it meets our standards before it is ready for the next guest.Regarding the issue of rooms with windows covered in plastic, I must clarify that only one room, Room 233 located at the front of the hotel near the stairs, is currently undergoing renovations for soundproofing due to its proximity to the elevator. This is an isolated case, and the rest of the hotel is unaffected.I understand your concern about feeling observed while closing your trunk, but please rest assured that our hotel maintains a safe environment. It's possible that the individual you noticed was simply taking a break or stretching their legs after a long drive.Regarding your mention of gas stations closing their bathrooms in your review, I am somewhat surprised as to why this would be relevant to a hotel review. However, I want to assure you that our hotel takes pride in ensuring the safety and comfort of all our guests. Notably, local law enforcement personnel and their families have stayed with us, including a deputy who chose to have their wedding celebration here.Please feel free to reach out if you have any further concerns or if there's anything else we can assist you with.Best regards,

It is hard to review this hotel. The rooms have been nicely renovated and were super clean and comfortable. You can tell the owners are trying. However, they can't help they are on a main drag and have regular traffic noise, plus cars and motorcycles hooning all night long. The $100/night we paid was very affordable for a place to sleep, just be warned you won't have the feeling of being on vacation.

We stayed here for 2 days over Easter break the rooms have been remodeled and updated but the rest of the property is in the process and worn. There is a tiki bar out from which seems popular with locals and a bit noisy and Smokey but otherwise fine if you are just sleeping over a day or 2. Right on the highway

This is the 2nd time I stayed at this place. I drove 1.30 hours one way for hotel. Rooms are up to date but walls are al little thin but the atmosphere was nice. However, when it came to the "heated pool" which was my reason in going back. The pool was not heated. I let the front desk know and all I got was "oh, I'll have someone check it". Which bummed out by birthday day as weather was cloudy. Heated pool would of been perfect.

Dear Rosa,Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you chose to stay with us again and that you found our rooms up to date and our atmosphere pleasant.However, we are sincerely sorry to learn about the issue you encountered with the heated pool. We understand the significance of this amenity, particularly on such a special occasion as your birthday, and we apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this may have caused you.Upon further investigation into the matter to ensure the proper functioning of our pool heating system, we discovered that a hotel guest had inadvertently turned off the heater. Please note that it typically takes around 15-20 minutes for the pool temperature to adjust once the heater is activated. Additionally, we regret if the response from our front desk staff was not as helpful as you had hoped. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will use it to enhance our service.We would also like to inform you that in the event of cloudy weather or possible rain, state regulations require us to close the pool for safety reasons.We genuinely appreciate your continued patronage and sincerely hope for the opportunity to welcome you back for a more enjoyable stay in the future. If there is anything else we can do to make your next visit even more memorable, please do not hesitate to let us know.Warm Regards,
