I did notice the halls and floors of highly trafficked areas weren't swept/mopped/vacuumed daily or even every other day. We stayed for 5 days and only on the last day did we see someone working on cleaning the carpets. The rooms and other spaces were well cleaned, so maybe if the staff increased their mopping/sweeping routine of the public spaces, it'd be spotless all the time.

We stayed here twice a week apart the first time the motel was clean. The room we stayed in was also clean.The staff was friendly. The second time there was something spilled in the elevator. In the two days we were there, it was never cleaned up. Someone had stepped out of the elevator onto the flooring and that was sticky also. Not sure how the staff could continually walk by the flooring and use the elevator without realizing that something sticky had spilled for two days. The toilet paper in our bathroom had not been restocked. The floor in the bathroom also didn’t look like it had been cleaned.The first time was a better experience. I’m not sure if I would stay again.

This hotel is very clean and well maintained. The pool and hot tub were a lot of fun for my family. We did have one minor problem -- our smoke alarm would flash bright in the middle of the night. The staff said they would take a look at it so it was probably just a one off occurrence.
