Just a couple minor inconveniences

Everything was great except a bad smell coming from the back of the fridge and we had to have it swapped out and they don't use deep pocket bottom sheets so the bottom sheet pops off the mattress all night.

Exfoliating towels for a small child.

Rooms are renovated, and bed was nice. However beyond that there was little care. No blankets in the room, only the thin bedcover. Super cheap soap and shampooing conditioner. The towels were made for a small child, were thin and so rough… we called them exfoliating rags. If you’re looking for just a comfortable bed bring a blanket, shampoo and conditioner you will be ok, and your sunburned skin will be nice and exfoliated when you leave.

Clean Comfort

While still a “budget” motel, this may have been the cleanest room in which I’ve ever stayed. The room doesn’t have that “homey” of decor, but this place is spotless, and not an insect in sight!

Location was good. Pool was clean. There was no art on the wall just a tv. There was no facial tissue, though theret was a minifridge and microwave. There was rust on the toilet paper holder. The loveseat had vinyl upholstery which was .uncbomfhortable. All the lights wete very bright LEDs. The curtains were in good condition. The sheets were very thin, but not as thin ( and ROUGH) As the towels. I got pretty much what I paid for.
