Just like the 80s.

It was a great walk down memory lane of how great motels and hotels were when i was a child. The kids loved it. They loved the pool.

The courtyard, banquet hall, pool and restaurant seem to be nice with a good looking bar. The rooms are awful, bathtubs had mold/mildew just gross. Our front desk associate tried to make everything right but it was out of her hands.

The room was nice. Remember to pick your cell phone cords up off the floor before house keeping comes in or they will destroy them in the vacuum. Other than that the stay was very pleasant.

This property isn’t anything like what the pictures claim. It is very old and not well kept. I have stayed in old hotels before, they are still maintained.

I booked room in advance. I was given our keys and when we got to our room and went in, there were suitcases and personal items all in room--- it was already occupied! We had to walk all the way back to desk with 2 kids and had to wait again to get another room. We walk all the way to 2nd room, and the keys wouldnt work. The door was bent and the only way to open door was to lift handle upwards. Constant noise. They apparently rent the pool out for a public party which was supposed to be over by 8/830 and of course it wasnt. Adults drinking in pool area made my daughter uncomfortable. Mildew in shower tiles. Air in room wouldnt regulate. Rooms definitely need updates. Plugs near nightstand didnt want to work- phones didnt charge even being plugged in all night. Plug at sink loose and hairdryer kept unplugging.
