Room wasn’t ready for check in. People had a birthday party at the pool and most weren’t even guests of the motel
Front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating! Loved that they don’t take an incidental fee as well! Only downside was that the room smelled like cigarette, the continental breakfast only consisted of Tampico oj, coffee, and waffles. Also, the pool looked like a clogged toilet. The pool water was brown and filthy! Most likely will not be returning again. 3/10
The out side looked ok close to shoping and food i can handle the bed being lumpy springs popping out but i cant do the bedbugs or roaches or the water bugs win i brought it up to the management they said what do you expect your not ag the holiday in
I travel for work.I've stayed in the hotel Twice First time was average.Not bad second time What's the worst experience i've had I will never stay there again
