The motel is very outdated and shows its age. The pool area looked sad and unkept. The 1st room we got was old. The furniture was worn and the room wasn't cleaned properly. We found a dead bug. I complained and instead of accommodating my request, the manager started to argue with me. There was another guest who had issues with his 1st room. He was given another room and complained that the linens weren't changed. He found dirt in his bed. I would highly recommend staying somewhere else.

A little underwhelming, but decent value. Not fancy, but some Reno’s were done. The deadbolt was removed, which was a little unsettling in a motel. It was fine.

Disappointing

The room was very run down and in need of repair. The floor was lifting. The desk chair was broken and I actually fell onto the floor.

You can tell that many thousands of dollars were spent renovating this property. Unfortunately the bathroom is very small to start with so there is very little counter space. The bed was excellent but the dresser looked like something from the 1950’s. The TV was very small and a floor lamp was broken. The heat and air conditioning were old but worked fine
