Aboutright

For the price it was what to be expected. Small microwave and mini fridge. No coffee pot like usual hotels or motels. Out of date builtinheater and out of date window ac unit that was falling apart and held together with duct tape. Booked a room for five people and they only had two towels in the bathroom. Pool wasn't open which was not great. Had to request more at office. All in all it's was appropriate for the price and last minute booking

Dumpster

Place looked like an absolute dump. No one was there to check us in there was a sign to just go in the room. We felt very unsafe and there was no one there when we left.

Good location easy drive to golf and casino

Room was clean and location was good. Beds were a little too soft for me. Tub would not drain but we got in too late to call manager so not sure if good service or not. Pool was small. TV was old no flat screen here. Loud air conditioner. Didn't need to use white noise!

Great Staff & Super Clean - Horrible Internet & TV

We enjoyed the room that had a comfy bed and was super clean. The appointments were simple and adequate. The staff was very nice and enjoyable to speak with. They have chairs outside each of the rooms where it seemed most guests chose to spend some time enjoying the evening out there, being social. We enjoyed that. The not so good, was internet/Wi-Fi and the TV. T-Mobile has virtually no signal at this location so for us to map out our next day's plans, getting onto the motel's Wi-Fi was important. Nothing in room 3 and very hit and miss service when stepping outside. It got no better at any point between our room and the office. What little I did get, while standing in the parking lot, was super slow, lacked sufficient connections, constantly disconnected and used very outdated security. I got better signal from the neighboring motel, across the street restaurant and cars driving by on the main avenue. There simply is no excuse for Wi-Fi being that bad and that outdated it this type of business. The world series was on and the TV cut out and needed to be switched off and on several times during the game. Finding good service and a team that does quality work is the hard part and they got that right. Having functional internet and tv is the easy part, but that part they didn't get right.
