Pool was out of order and building was under construction im guessing due to the multiple holes in the property, but they all looked cut out like they were in progress of an upgade perhaps? Other than that, pretty basic continental breakfast and very helpful staff.
The whole reason I chose this place was because of the pool and my kids and us staying there for a week. It was down. However, for maintenance the shower was terrible, there was hot water when you wanted cold cold water. When you wanted hot, it would randomly change, scald you 1 minute be freezing, the next, we couldn't get clean towels without attitude. From the front desk person housekeeping never once knocked and asked if we wanted our room cleaned, we were there for a week. So, it would have been nice to have the floor vacuumed and fresh sheets. We ended up washing our own towels and sheets, so we did not have to interact with the staff. Breakfast was sad. The only hot food offered was a toast or a bagel.\n Yogurt gallons of milk in the fridge and cereal. Not pleased. I will not be saying here again.
Bed was comfortable and decent breakfast, room price was decent

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room was pretty run down. Chunk of carpet cut out, sink badly stained and no drain stopper, chair covered in pet hair, rock hard pillows, pool and hot tub weren’t operating, ceiling leaking in hallway. Staff was friendly.
The location and comfort was fine. However, the place needed a clean-up in general. Mold in a few places, pool down for remodeling and we weren't informed. Breakfast was ok, plus an interior garden to walk and enjoy.
The room was great and the bed was very comfortable. The website said breakfast was included however they had cancelled the breakfast service after we had registered. We were informed in the morning as we tried to enter breakfast room. The person at the front desk informed us and other guests with as much patience as she could. Bad management as they were not there to handle the situation.

Old motel but clean and friendly staff
Staff was grest but first 5hey checked us into an already occupied room. New room light bulbs we burned ol, but clean and friendly staffut and toilet was plugged 🔌 and wouldn't flush. She would give us a new room if we wamted to, but she got the toilet to flush very slowly and we didn't want to move every, too late at night
The employees arguing, outside appears empty, on checkout morning we were loading car at 9am and employee was already in our room nosing around we wasn't even done loading yet. She went into another room and people were still there taking showers. Check out wasn't until 11am. Breakfast was very limited. Room was clean
Really enjoyed our stay there. Room and bathroom was clean. Breakfast was really good. It was close to everything we needed to see and do. Motel was full of guests both nights with lots of families and kids. Was very quiet in our room. Will stay there again when we go back.
We were stopped for one late overnight stay. The reception was extremely helpful and welcoming. We needed an early start for the long drive ahead so they arranged to have the breakfast open a bit early so we could. King bed and room was extremely comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was clean great location few minor things but when you're paying such a low price you can't expect it to be perfect.
Check in was slow- but that’s because there was a new person training. Hallways were very humid. Walked into the room and looked really nice. Room was cool temp. Only complaint was that the shower walls were obviously not wiped down recently.
