First the pool was closed. I understand things break, just disappointing, we found leftover fast food containers in the room. There was only 2 towels in the room, which the were more than willing to have us come get more. So for a one or two night fishing trip, it’s fine. Bringing wife and kids, I think there is better options

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pool was out of order, TV in room didn’t work, dryer out of order. Halls were dirty. Room was at least decently clean. Beds were comfy for being motel beds. If you sat on the couch it felt like you were sitting on the floor. Front entry smelt like weed all three nights. Wasn’t worth the price we had to pay to stay there.
