Terese

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This motel was dirty and not at all as pictured online. The door to the room did not close properly which led to water flooding our room. It was dirty, the bathroom was old and rusty. The pool was closed and the property looked abandoned. The phone to the main lobby did not work so every time we needed towels we needed to walk to the main building. This place is NOT professional cleaned as stated in the description. The “cleaning staff” appears to be a husband, wife and their baby in the stroller. I would NEVER recommend anyone staying here. The owners should be ashamed.

The brand is lower end but the staff we had contact with were among the best we have ever encountered. They were incredibly helpful to us in a daily basis. The room was large with an additional seating area. The bed was comfortable. Good shower. Ac/heating system was quiet. There are lots of dining choices as well as shopping adjacent to the hotel.
