Almost got double charged during my stay with family during check-in. There was drug addicts walking around the motel and there was roaches in the room. I recommend paying a few dollar more for a better place to stay.

Clean, quiet, comfortable stay.

Room was clean, smelled fresh and not like a stale cigarette. Clean linen clean towels. Air conditioning froze us like ice cubes. Even though it was close to 90 outside. Great stay

Room had no mirror, nowhere to put your suitcase and clothes, no towel rack or hooks, broken toilet paper holder, one mattress needed replacement (could feel coils), slightly dirty and very musty smell!!! Terrible room. Not worth the cost. Shady people around hotel.

Housekeeping

The bathroom is clean. Shower is clean and comfortable. Bed was clean comfortable. The TV works very well and it was pretty clean. Unfortunately there was never a maid come to my room with extra towels or maybe making the bed during the whole stay which is four days I didn’t mind getting the towels myself Near the pool. I went to the pool once and it was very dirty when I first got there they put me in a room that had not been cleaned.
